Abstract
To assess the influence of renal transplantation on sexual function. Prospective study including all patients who underwent a kidney transplantation between January 2013 and February 2015. Sexual function was measured before, at 6, 12 months after transplantation and at the last follow-up with IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function) and FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index questionnaires). Median FSFI total score significantly increased in women at 6 months. In men, median IIEF total score significantly increased at one year. Our study provides evidence suggesting that successful transplantation can improve normal sexual function in both men and women with chronic kidney failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
