Abstract

Abnormally low serum testosterone levels were recently associated with an increased mortality risk in male dialysis patients. However, the prevalence of testosterone deficiency in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is not well defined. We hereby explore the prevalence and correlates of clinical testosterone deficiency in a large cohort of ESRD male patients. Two hundred and sixty ESRD men [median age 59 (25th-75th percentile 48-67)  years] were included. Testosterone concentration and testosterone deficiency (<10 nmol/L) were studied in relation to clinically evident cardiovascular disease and markers of inflammation at baseline as well as deaths registered during the following 36 months. Testosterone deficiency was present in 44% of the patients, while 33% showed testosterone insufficiency (10-14 nmol/L), and only 23% had normal testosterone values (>14 nmol/L). Testosterone was strongly and inversely correlated to inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6 and fibrinogen), even after correction for age and sex hormone-binding globulin. In a crude spline curve, low testosterone concentrations were associated with worse outcome. A clinical condition of testosterone deficiency was independently associated with cardiovascular co-morbidity [odds...Continue Reading
