Abstract

Objective: We aimed to evaluate sexual functions and the factors that affect changes in sexual functions in male patients undergoing renal transplantation due to end- stage renal disease. Materials and methods: The study included 46 male patients (mean age 43.0±8.5 years) who were followed- up after renal transplantation. Data on demographic char- acteristics, clinical examination, renal transplantation, and sexual functions were collected. Erectile functions were assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF). Changes in libido and erec- tion quality after transplantation were also questioned. Results: The mean duration of hemodialysis before trans- plantation was 16.7±2.9 months and the mean time elapsed after transplantation was 58.3±9.6 months. Twenty-eight patients (60.9%) underwent living-related donor transplan- tation. Self-reported rates of erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation were 34.8% and 54.4%, respectively. The mean IIEF score was 24.4±5.8. The IIEF score showed ED in 47.8% of the patients. Duration of hemodialysis dif- fered significantly between patients with and without ED (19.9±5.5 months vs. 13.8±2.6 months; p<0.05). The fre- quency of ED did not differ significantly between recipients from living donors and cadaveric donors (42.9% vs. 55.6%; p>0.05). After transplantation, 8.7% of patients reported decreased libido and 17.4% reported increased libido. The corresponding figures for erection quality were 13.0% and 26.1%. While the mean ages of patients reporting changes in libido did not differ significantly, those reporting improved erection quality were significantly younger (p<0.05). Conclusion: Sexual functions show improvement after renal transplantation. Prolonged duration of hemodialysis before transplantation is associated with increased risk for ED.

Özet

Amaç: Son dönem böbrek hastalığı nedeniyle böbrek nakli yapılan erkek hastalarda cinsel işlevler değerlendi- rildi ve cinsel fonksiyonlardaki değişime etki eden faktör- ler araştırıldı. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya böbrek nakli sonrası takibe gelen 46 erkek hasta (ort. yaş 43.0±8.5) alındı. Hastaların demografik özellikleri, fizik muayene bulguları, böbrek nakli ve cinsel yaşamla ilgili bilgileri toplandı. Erektil fonksiyonlar Uluslararası Ereksiyon İşlevi Değerlendirme formu (IIEF) erektil fonksiyon (EF) altgrubu ile değerlen- dirildi. Ayrıca, birer soru ile nakil öncesi ve sonrası cinsel dürtü ve sertleşme kalitesi değerlendirildi. Bul gu lar: Nakil öncesi ortalama hemodiyaliz süresi 16.7±2.9 ay, nakil sonrası geçen ortalama süre ise 58.3±9.6 ay bulundu. Yirmi sekiz (%60.9) hastaya canlı vericiden böbrek nakli yapılmıştı. Hastaların %34.8’i erektil disfonksiyon (ED), %54.4’ü prematür ejakülasyon tanımladı. Ortalama IIEF-EF skoru 24.4±5.8 idi. IIEF-EF skoruna göre hastaların %47.8’inde ED saptandı. Nakil öncesi hemodiyaliz süresi, ED olan ve olmayanlarda sıra- sıyla 19.9±5.5 ay ve 13.8±2.6 ay bulundu (p 0.05). Böbrek nakli sonrasında hastaların %8.7’si cinsel dürtülerinin azaldı- ğını, %17.4’ü ise arttığını bildirdi. Aynı oranlar sertleşme kalitesi için sırasıyla %13.0 ve %26.1 idi. Cinsel dürtüde değişim belirten hastaların ortalama yaşları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmazken, sertleşme kalitesinin arttığını belirten hasta grubunun ortalama yaşı anlamlı derecede düşüktü (p<0.05). So nuç: Böbrek nakli sonrasında cinsel işlevlerde düzelme görülmektedir. Nakil öncesi hemodiyaliz süresinin uzun olması ED gelişimi açısından risk oluşturmaktadır.
