| Popis: | Sexual dysfunction is common among men and women with CKD and is associated with depression and worsened quality of life. The pathophysiology is complex and may be related to hormonal disturbances associated with CKD, comorbid conditions, medication use, or psychosocial factors. We describe the prevalence, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of sexual dysfunction in CKD separately for men and women. Because there are relatively few data directly addressing these issues among patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD, we have leaned heavily on the literature among patients with ESRD and on guidelines for treatment for the general population, emphasizing treatment differences related to CKD. Because sexual dysfunction is common, affects quality of life, and can be treated, it deserves more attention in the management of patients with CKD. |
