Mon-284 a Cross Sectional Study of the Prevalence and Predictors of Erectile Dysfunction in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

range), as appropriate. The student's T distribution was used to determine differences in the data collected between the two phases. P two-tail value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results were analyzed with the SPSS program. The study was approved by the IRB of the Fray Antonio Alcalde Civil Hospital, and registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03563898) Results: 51 of the 54 total sauna bath sessions were well tolerated, without side effects. Only in 3 sessions (5.5%) adverse effects were reported; transient dizziness in two cases, and skin burns in one patient with advanced diabetic neuropathy. A significant difference was observed between the recruitment phase and the intervention period in the over-hydration index (OH) (6.3 AE 1.2 Liters vs 5.5 AE 1.3 Liters, P = 0.03) and the over-hydration/extracellular water ratio (OH / ECW) (29 AE 3 % vs 26 AE 4 %, P = 0.05). We also observed a significance decrease in mean body weight (67.7 AE 3.7 kg vs 66.8 AE 3.8 kg, P = 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (92 AE 4 mmHg vs. 83 AE 4 mmHg, P = 0.007) and in the Global PSQI score (7.3 +-1.2 vs. 5.1 +-1, P = 0.008). Conclusions: Induced sweating by sauna bath can be a safe and effective alternative way to reduce fluid overload in peritoneal dialysis patients. Induced sweating could be useful in anuric patients and/or those with poor ultrafiltration when hemodialysis is not available. Because of the risk of skin burns, it should not be used in patients with peripheral neuropathy. Larger studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Male sexual dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study

“…Notably, a higher incidence of ED has been observed in studies focusing on male CKD patients, particularly those with end-stage renal disease 6 . Research by Guven et al, which included 90 male CKD patients demonstrated that PE scores were significantly higher in this group compared to healthy individuals 7 .…”

Male Sexual Dysfunction in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…In addition, high prevalence of ED were also found in several studies of male patients with CKD, especially in end-stage renal disease(6). A study published by Guven et al with a total of 90 male patients described that PE scores among male patients with CKD were higher than healthy controls (7).…”
