Introducción: La sexualidad, el estatus psicosocial y la calidad de vida (QoL) son factores importantes, a menudo infravalorados, en los esquemas de diálisis. Objetivos: Evaluar la prevalencia de disfunción sexual y sus asociaciones en los pacientes en diálisis peritoneal (DP). Métodos: Se utilizaron el Índice de Función Sexual Femenina (IFSF), el Índice Internacional de Función Eréctil (IIFE), la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria (HADS) y los cuestionarios sobre calidad de vida EQ5D en la población prevalente en DP (57 pacientes). Se realizaron análisis multivariantes para investigar los factores clínicos independientes para disfunción sexual. Resultados: Se diagnosticó disfunción sexual en el 67,9 % de las mujeres y en el 44,8 % de los varones. En las mujeres la albúmina sérica, la creatinina, los niveles de fósforo y EQ5D se relacionaran positivamente con IFSF. En los varones existía una correlación negativa entre el calcio sérico y el score IIEF. En el análisis multivariante los parámetros nutricionales permanecieron asociados de manera independiente con la disfunción sexual en mujeres; en los varones los principales determinantes fueron el aumento de la concentración de calcio y la disminución de la testosterona. En los análisis de regresión logística el riesgo de disfunción sexual en la población global está asociado a niveles menores de albúmina (OR = 6,94) y a un score inferior de EQ5D (OR = 6,93). Conclusiones: La disfunción sexual tiene una alta prevalencia y una fuerte asociación con la percepción de la calidad de vida de los pacientes en DP. Se han encontrado diferentes variables clínicas relacionadas con la disfunción sexual en cada sexo que justifican actitudes preventivas y terapéuticas individualizadas.

Background: Sexual function, psychosocial status and quality of life (QoL) are important dimensions, often underestimated, in dialysis treatment schedules. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and its associations, among peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Methods: The Index of Female Sexual Function (IFSF), the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Quality of Life EQ5D questionnaires were applied to a prevalent PD population of 57 enrolled patients. Multivariate analysis was conducted to investigate clinical independent risk factors for sexual dysfunction. Results: Sexual dysfunction was diagnosed in 67.9% of women and 44.8% of men. In females, serum albumin, creatinine and phosphorus levels and EQ5D positively correlated with IFSF score. For males, there was a significant negative correlation between serum calcium levels and the IIEF score. On multivariate analysis, nutritional parameters remained independently associated with sexual dysfunction in women; in males, increase in calcium concentration and decrease of testosterone were main determinants. On logistic regression analysis, the risk of sexual dysfunction in global population was associated with lower values of albumin (OR=6.94) and with a lower QoL score EQ5D (OR=6.93). Conclusions: Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent and strongly associated with impaired QoL of PD patients. Different clinical variables were related to sexual dysfunction in each gender, justifying an individualized preventive and therapeutic approaches.
