Abstract

Erectile dysfunction(ED) is defined as the inability to achieve and maintain a penile erection adequate for satisfactory sexual intercourse. The frequency of ED in patients with renal failure is estimated at 50% to 70%. The research objective is to survey the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in patients undergoing hemodialysis and identify associated factors. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 67 men treated with hemodialysis at the Nephro-Urology and Dialysis Center - Bạch Mai Hospital from October 2022 to October 2023. Results: The rate of ED in hemodialysis patients was 86,6%. The mild, moderate, and severe ED rates are 46,3%, 29,9%, and 10,4%, respectively. The average age was 43,4 ± 8,23, and the ED rate in the group of patients under 50 years old and the group 50 years old and older was not statistically different (p=0,098). The occurrence of ED in the group with low and normal testosterone concentrations was statistically different (p=0,021). There is a positive correlation between serum testosterone and albumin concentrations with total IIEF scores, as shown by correlation analysis. There is a negative correlation between total IIEF scores and dialysis duration.
