Abstract

Background: Effects of renal transplantation (RT) on erectile dysfunction (ED) is a controversial issue. Objective: To verify the efficacy of RT in restoring erectile function (EF) in hemodialysed patients. Design, setting, and participants: We conducted a prospective, interventional, nonrandomised study from September 2001 to September 2005 on 78 hemodialysed male patients undergoing RT. EF was evaluated during the baseline visit and 1 yr after RT, using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. A subanalysis was performed by splitting the total cohort into two age groups:
