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.
