AHIS TOMAS, Patricia et al. Sexual dysfunction and quality of life depending on the type of renal replacement therapy. Enferm Nefrol [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.4, pp.342-348. ISSN 2255-3517.
Studies assessing the impact of different modalities of renal replacement therapy on patient's sexual dysfunction and quality of life are needed. Objectives: To evaluate the differences in overall and sexual quality of life by validated questionnaire KDQOL-SFTM between patients receiving each renal replacement modality. Methods: Observational comparative study. 72 total patients. Of them 22.2% were on peritoneal dialysis, 65.3% on hemodialysis and 12.5% on home hemodialysis. Results: 29.7% of patients on hemodialysis consider chronic kidney disease affected "very much" and "a lot" their sexual life. 55.4% of patients on hemodialysis suffer from problems to enjoy sexual activity against 62.5% in peritoneal dyalisis and 44.4% at home hemodialysis. Conclusions: Home treated patients are those with lower impact of the disease on its ability to maintain and enjoy sexual activity.
