"Sexual bother and sexual activity before and after kidney transplantation" (Am J Transplant. 2024 Sep 18:S1600-6135(24)00565-3. doi: 10.1016/j.ajt.2024.09.010. Online ahead of print.)

Among patients awaiting kidney transplantation (KT), sexual dysfunction is common owing to end-stage kidney disease, but may improve post-KT. Leveraging a 2-center prospective study, 2422 adult KT candidates and 490 adult KT recipients (May 2014 to December 2023) were identified. Using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form, participants reported on the negative impact of sexual dysfunction due to end-stage kidney disease (i.e., sexual bother) at KT evaluation, admission, and post-KT follow-ups. Using mixed-effect logistic regression models, [the authors] estimated odds and trajectories for odds of sexual bother [and found that] sexual bother is common pre-KT and improves post-KT, and sexual activity increases post-KT. Sexual health is important and should be considered during KT management. Read more.
