Abstract

Background & Aims: ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION (ED) is a highly prevalent problem among hemodialysed patients that is often under-diagnosed and under-estimated.Materials & Methods: A prospective clinical trial was conducted to determine the prevalence of ED in hemodialysed (HD) patients and the effect of successful RENAL TRANSPLANTATION (RT) on improvement of ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION. Eighty eligible HD men assessed by international index of erectile function version 5 (IIEF-5) and then 6 months later 64 available patients with successful RT were reassessed by IIEF-5.Results: The prevalence of ED in HD patients was 87.5%. Although there were some differences in the prevalence of ED between patients older and younger than 50 years old, this difference was not statistically significant. There was no relationship between the duration of dialysis and severity of ED in HD group. Compared to pre-RT IIEF-5 score (13.59), this score showed significant improvement (19.16). In an attempt to find predictors of improvement of ED after RT, linear regression analysis with backward method was used. Pre-RT IIEF-5 score, age at the time of RT, and anastomosis to the common iliac artery had statistically significant association with the chance of improvement, but the duration of dialysis and anastomosis to internal iliac or external iliac artery did not.Conclusion: Prevalence of ED in HD patients is exceedingly high and has profound negative impact on their quality of life. So with respect to the development of effective oral therapies for ED, urologists should include ED assessment when evaluating HD and RT patients. At last it is better to perform RT at lower age in respect to improvement of ED.
