Abstract
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.
