Abstract

We report a case of epididymal calcification that was diagnosed sonographically in a hemodialysis patient. Epididymal head calcification was an incidental finding in an infertile 28-year-old man undergoing scrotal sonographic examination to investigate infertility. The testes had normal appearance. Semen parameters were abnormal which included oligospermia (few spermatozoa in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm motility). Here, we discussed microlithiasis of the epididymis related to hemodialysis or end-stage renal disease and accompanying the sperm abnormalities that caused infertility. Hemodialysis is one of the reasons of the epididymal calcification via abnormalities of the calcium/phosphate metabolism

Özet

Hemodiyaliz hastasında sonografik olarak tanı konulan bir epididimal kalsifikasyon olgusunu sunduk. Epididim baş kesimindeki kalsifikasyon, infertilite için araştırılan 28 yaşındaki infertil bir erkek hastada, skrotal sonografik değerlendirme esnasında insidental olarak saptandı. Testisler normal sonografik görünümdeydi. Semen parametreleri oligospermi (semende az sayıda sperm) ve astenospermi (azalmış sperm motilitesi) içerir şekilde anormaldi. Bu sunuda, infertiliteye sebebiyet veren sperm anomalisine sahip hastada, epididimal mikrolitiazisin hemodiyaliz ya da son dönem böbrek hastalığı ile ilişkisi tartışıldı. Hemodiyaliz, kalsiyum/fosfat metabolizması üzerinden epididimde kalsifikasyon gelişim nedenlerinden biridir
