Impact of Renal Transplantation on Erectile Dysfunction in Chronic Renal Failure Patients in Male
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 12
Abstract
Abstract: Testicular dysfunction is well documented in patients with chronic renal failure. Our aim was to determine the incidence of erectile dysfunction among chronic renal failure patients who have undergone renal transplant. A cross sectional study was conducted in 60 renal transplant patients by means of International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaires. Relationship between erectile dysfunction with patient’s age and serum testosterone level was studied and analyzed. Age and serum testosterone level were significantly associated with higher incidence of erectile dysfunction. 33 patients had no improvement in erectile dysfunction after transplant. Statistically significant changes were observed in the mean levels of testosterone. Incidence of erectile dysfunction after renal transplant is quiet high. IIEF-5 is an effective means to establish and diagnose the erectile dysfunction.
