QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ON RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Journal Title: International scientific journal Science and Innovation - Year 2025, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
To evaluate the impact of renal replacement therapy (RRT) on erectile function (EF) and quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A prospective observational study included 201 men with CKD who presented to a urology center with complaints of erectile dysfunction (ED). EF was assessed using the IIEF-5 questionnaire, and QoL was measured with the KDQOL-SF questionnaire at three time points: baseline, during severe azotemia, and after 12 months of hemodialysis. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA (p<0.05). A progressive deterioration of EF was observed: the baseline IIEF-5 score was 21.9±0.1 (62.7% without ED), during azotemia it dropped to 13.7±0.1 (92.5% with mild-to-moderate ED), and after 12 months of hemodialysis — to 9.7±0.1 (13.9% severe ED, 65.7% moderate ED, p<0.001). QoL declined across all KDQOL-SF domains: “Symptoms/Problems” from 74.3±0.8 to 60.1±1.1, “Sexual Function” from 83.5±1.1 to 69.2±0.8, “Emotional Well-being” from 63.1±1 to 50.1±0.7, and “Physical Functioning” from 64.2±1.5 to 50.3±1.2 (p<0.001). CKD and hemodialysis significantly impair erectile function and quality of life, exacerbating physical, psycho-emotional, and social limitations.
