ABSTRACT: Objectives: To determine the prevalence and risk factors of erectile
dysfunction (ED) in men on
hemodialysis in Togo. Methods: Prospective cross-sectional study, descriptive and analytical ranging from December 2015 to February 2016 in the hemodialysis unit of CHU SO, only dialysis center in the country. The
evaluation of the ED was made through IIEF-5 questionnaire. Results: 39 men (67.2%) of 58
hemodialysis is a sex ratio M/F of 2.05. The average age was 43.5 years with
extremes of 25 and 59 years. The majority of
men had a profession in 19 cases (48.7%). The mean duration of dialysis
was 30 months with a range of 4 months and 90 months. Initial glomerular
nephropathy was in 19 cases (48.7%) and vascular in 14 cases (35.9%). 38 patients were hypertensive (97.4%) and 6 diabetic
men (15.4%). The prevalence of ED was
74.3% (29 cases). ED score was less than 10 points in 14 cases (35.9%); 01 case (2.6%) between 11 and 16 points; 06 cases (15.4%) between 17 to 21
points; 08 cases (20.5%) between 22 and 25
points; and 10 cases (25.6%) between 26 and 30 points. Age, profession and duration of dialysis were risk
factors associated with ED (P 0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of ED is very high in Togo.
