| Popis: | The existence of a sexual problem as the subjective evaluation of sexual function was assessed with a simple questionnaire. Those questioned were patients undergoing dialysis treatment (n = 400) or with a functioning renal transplant (RTx; n = 300) and both men and women in the general Dutch population (n = 591). In the Dutch control population, 8.7% of the men and 14.9% of the women reported a sexual problem, showing a significant gender difference but unrelated to age. In patients, the prevalence of a sexual problem was significantly greater (hemodialysis, men, 62.9%; women, 75.0%; peritoneal dialysis, men, 69.8%; women, 66.7%; renal transplantation, men, 48.3%; women, 44.4%). In RTx recipients, sexual problems were significantly less prevalent than in patients undergoing dialysis (P < 0.001). Only in male patients was an association between prevalence of a sexual problem and age found. The results of the simple questionnaire were sufficiently validated when 102 of 104 patients confirmed their responses in a subsequent structured interview. This study shows that the prevalence of sexual problems in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy is high and clinically relevant. |
