Abstract:
The sexual hormones were measured in the serum of 30 male renal transplantation patients both pre transplant and 1, 3 and 6 months after transplantation. The changes in sexual function in these 30 cases with normal functioning grafts for 1～3 years were investigated. All patients answered the questionnaire. The serum sexual hormones were measured by radioimmunoassay. The sexual functions of 21 patients recovered 2～4 months after transplantation. About 80 9% of the patients were satisfactory with their sexual life. 4 unmarried patients experienced nocturnal emission 2～4 months after the transplantation, and two of them were successful to impreqnate two or three years after marriage. The levels of serum T were normal 3 months after transplantation. The results suggested that the patients with pituitary sex endocrine dysfunction in chronic renal failure could be relieved by successful renal transplantation.
