ABSTRACT
AIM:
To determine the prevalence and the risk factors of hypogonadism in men with chronic renal failure (CRF).METHODS:
We conducted a cross sectional analysis in 48 men with CRF. Total testosterone, prolactin, and gonadotropins were measured in all patients. Hypogonadism was defined by a low level (<10 nmol/l) or a low normal level (10-14 nmol/l) of total testosterone.RESULTS:
The mean age was 53.31±10.22 years. Renal impairment was mild, moderate, severe and at end stage in 9,14,4 and 21 patients, respectively. Nineteen patients had been undergoing extra-renal purification. The average of total testosterone was 13.44±6.17 nmol/L. It was lower in patients with diabetic nephropathy (p=0.004). Hypogonadism was diagnosed in 22 patients (46 %). In this group, gonadotropins were normal in 21 cases and elevated in only one case. Hyperprolactinemia was retained in six patients. Type 2 diabetes (OR 3.96; p=0.02) and diabetic nephropathy (OR=4.26; p=0.01) were the only risk factors of hypogonadism in our patients.CONCLUSION:
Our results had demonstrated a high prevalence of hypogonadism in males with chronic renal failure. This hormone disorder was associated with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.
