Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Evaluation

A silent factor affecting sexual and prostate function

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition in which kidney filtration deteriorates for more than 3 months. Its presence not only compromises overall health but also directly impacts male sexual health, promoting hypogonadism, erectile dysfunction, and prostate disorders. For this reason, evaluation and follow-up by nephrology specialists are essential to prevent complications and optimize the patient’s overall health.

Globally, CKD affects approximately 1 in 7 adults, and its main causes—diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and genitourinary diseases—overlap with the factors that impair male sexual and reproductive function.

Most frequent causes of chronic kidney disease

At Andrología Mallorca, we assess patients considering the underlying causes that may affect both renal and sexual function:

Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus

Affects renal filtration and sexual function.

Arterial hypertension

Contributes to renal vascular damage and erectile dysfunction.

Obesidad

Obesity and metabolic syndrome

Increase the risk of CKD and hormonal alterations.

Filtración

Glomerulopathies

Gglomerular diseases affecting filtration.

Ácido úrico

Interstitial nephropathies

Kidney stones, uric acid, and other interstitial disorders.

Renal

Adult polycystic kidney disease

Hereditary condition that impairs kidney function.

Riñón

Hyperfiltration in a single kidney

Functional overload that may lead to CKD.

Diagnóstico del hipogonadismo

Impact of CKD on male sexual health

CKD not only affects the kidneys but also disrupts hormone production, lowers testosterone, and increases the risk of hypogonadism. In addition, the condition contributes to erectile dysfunction, prostate abnormalities, and metabolic changes that impair quality of life.

Specialized approach at Andrología Mallorca

At our clinic in Mallorca, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and personalized treatment for patients with CKD and sexual dysfunction:

1

Medical history and sexual and hormonal health questionnaires.

2

Hormonal tests and kidney function assessments.

3

Evaluation of comorbidities and risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, obesity).

Tailored treatment plan: hypogonadism management, sexual therapy, and prostate monitoring.
