| Popis: | Male erectile dysfunction (ED) is an important issue worldwide occurring in 5-69% of men in community-based studies. It is more common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and those on peritoneal as well as hemodialysis (HD), occurring in more than 80% of patients. In Sudan, there is no pre-vious report on ED among patients with CKD. A cross-sectional study was done to determine the prevalence of ED and its associated risk factors among Sudanese CKD patients on HD and those who underwent renal transplant. This was conducted in Khartoum, Sudan from October 2005 to July 2006 including all married men who were on maintenance HD for more than three months and all married men who had received renal transplantation at least three months earlier. Single, divorced/separated men, those whose wives were living away, those who were bed-bound and those with cognitive impairment were also excluded. After obtaining consent for participation, demographic and clinical data were collected by using anonymous questionnaires and the Arabic version of International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF; the Egyptian version). Patients who did not participate in full and proper manner were considered as "non-responders." A total of 146 patients, 106 HD patients, and 40 renal transplant recipients completed the IIEF questionnaire. Non-responders constituted 43.7% and 54.5% of HD and transplant recipient patients, respectively. Blood samples were taken after completion of the IIEF questionnaire to determine the required investigations. ED prevalence was high among our study patients, 83% among the HD patients and 67.5% among the renal transplant recipients. Univariate analysis showed that there was a trend, although non-significant, of older age being associated with ED in both groups. Similar association was seen in those who were under-dialyzed in the HD group and DM in the transplant recipient group. Previous history of ED was significantly associated with current presence of ED in both groups. More studies with larger sample size are needed to clarify the results of this study. |
