6 In their study, the disorders influenced sexual health quality, although the correlations did not reach statistical significance. 6 A study by Cobo et al revealed correlations between hypogonadal CKD group and a decrease in lean body mass, low physical activity and poor response to erythropoietin. 7 A literature review indicates higher mortality rate in patients with stage 3 and 4 CKD with concomitant hypogonadism. 8 The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hypogonadism and its association with kidney function, body composition, inflammatory markers and lipid disorders in patients with CKD.
