BACKGROUND: Sexual dysfunction including erectile dysfunction (ED) is common in patients with end stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Prevalence and determinants of ED in these patients has not been well characterized. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prevalence of ED in 44 patients on chronic PD was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) commonly called Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) score. The associations between ED and other medical conditions was also assessed. RESULTS: Prevalence of ED was high at 88%. Mean age of all patients was 61.8 +/- 13.9 years. Thirty-two patients were hypertensive, 19 of them had coronary artery disease and 13 patients were diabetics. All patients with diabetes had ED. Age and diabetes were found to be significantly associated with ED. CONCLUSION: ED is highly prevalent in patients on chronic PD. Increasing age and diabetes were associated with higher percentage of ED.
