Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual intercourse. Relaxation of cavernous smooth muscle mediated by nitric oxide (NO) plays a primary role in the physiology of penile erection. Homocysteine (Hcys) is an essential amino acid containing sulfur and is synthesized from methionine. Experimental models have elucidated the role of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) as a strong and independent predictor for atherosclerosis progression and impaired cavernosal perfusion, which leads to ED. On the other hand, ED is a common condition among men with chronic renal failure (CRF). The prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia is more than 90% in men who undergo hemodialysis (HD).METHODS: The aim of this study is to determine if there is a correlation between ED and HHcy among men with CRF. A total of 92 men between 25–65 years of age participated in the study, from which 34 of them were HD patients caused by CRF. Four groups of patients were utilized including: CRF-HD patients with ED (Group-1), CRFHD patients without ED (Group-2), patients with ED (Group-3) and patients without ED (Group-4). ED has been evaluated by using the Turkish version of International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF). Patients with any co-morbidity related to ED or patients who underwent surgical intervention related to postoperative ED development were excluded from the study. Serum glucose, total testosterone and homocystein and other parameters which suppose to cause ED were measured in all patient groups.RESULTS: The results of the present study showed that there was no statistically significant difference for serum homocystein levels between the study groups. On the other hand, when ED groups are categorized as severe+moderate and mild, a significant difference concerning Hcy levels has been found between the groups with advanced ED either having CRF-HD and patients without CRF-HD (p=0.003).DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Additionally, by using ordinal logistic regression analysis it has been found that increased Hcy levels is an independent risk factors for erectile dysfunction

Özet

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Erektil disfonksiyon (ED), tatmin edici bir cinsel aktivite için gerekli olan ereksiyonun sağlanamaması ya da sağlansa bile devam ettirilememesidir. Ereksiyon fizyolojisinde nitrik oksit (NO) aracılı kavernöz düz kas gevşemesi primer rol oynamaktadır. Homosistein (Hcy), esansiyel bir aminoasit olan metiyoninden sentezlenen sülfür içeren bir aminoasittir. Deneysel modellerde, ateroskleroz ve bozulmuş kavernozal kan akımına neden olan hiperhomosisteineminin (HHcy) ED gelişiminde bağımsız bir faktör olabileceği açıklanmıştır. Öte yandan, ED kronik böbrek yetmezlikli (KBY) hastalar arasında sık karşılaşılan bir patolojidir. Hemodiyalize giren hastalarda HHcy prevalansı %90 oranında görülür.YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Bu çalışmanın amacı: KBY olan hastalarda ED ve serum HHcy düzeyleri arasındaki olası ilişkinin araştırılmasıdır. Çalışmaya 25-65 yaş arası 34 tanesi KBY nedenli hemodiyaliz (HD) hastası olan 92 erkek katıldı. Hastalar prospektif olarak; HD'e giren ED'si olan (Grup-1), HD'e giren ED'si olmayan (Grup-2), KBY'si olmayan ED'si olan (Grup-3), ve KBY'si olmayan ED'si olmayan (Grup4) olmak üzere dört gruba ayrıldı. Grupların ED sınıflaması IIEF sorgulama formu ile yapıldı. ED ile ilgili ko-morbiditesi olan ya da ED nedeni olabilecek cerrahi girişim öyküsü bulunan hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Tüm hastalarda serum glukoz, total testosteron ve homosistein ile ED ile ilişkili olabilecek diğer parametrelerin ölçümü yapıldı. ED ile ilişkili ko-morbid hastalığı olan ya da cerrahi girişim geçiren hastalar çalışmaya alınmadı.BULGULAR: Sonuçlar karşılaştırıldığında bu dört grup arasında Hcy düzeyleri arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı fark bulunmadı. Buna karşılık ED grupları hafif-orta ve ileri olarak sınıflandırıldığı takdirde; HD'ye giren şiddetli+orta ED'si olan grup ile, HD'ye girmeyen şiddetli+orta ED'si olan grup arasında Hcy seviyeleri arasında istatistiksel açısından anlamlı fark olduğu saptandı (p=0,003).TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Çoklu lojistik regresyon analizi yapıldığında artmış Hcy seviyelerinin ED gelişimde yaştan bağımsız risk faktörü olduğu saptandı
