Abstract
Quality of Life Related to Health is currently considered one of the primary therapeutic objectives in renal failure patients who need substitution treatment as life prolonging therapy. Sexual health is a basic right that positively affects the quality of life. Although a significant percentage of chronic patients have some type of sexual dysfunction, this is not openly discussed, making it important for doctors to address these issues in the clinic. A review is presented on the pathophysiology of sexual dysfunctions in both male and female chronic renal patients. The effects of dialysis and transplantation on sexual function will be addressed, as well as presenting the main sexual dysfunctions and their treatment.
