[Effect of prolonged hemodialysis therapy on secretion of testosterone induced by luliberin in men with chronic renal insufficiency].
The effects of prolonged hemodialysis therapy on testosterone secretion have been studied in 41 men with chronic renal insufficiency. Fifteen healthy men served as control group. LH-RH stimulation test was performed in all the studied subjects. It was found that blood serum testosterone concentration is lowered in all the patients with renal insufficiency irrespective of the time of duration of hemodialysis therapy as compared to the control group. In patients dialyzed longer than 50 month testosterone level was higher than in those subjected to shorter period of hemodialysis therapy. Reactivity of testosterone secretion in LH-RH stimulation test was greater in patients dialyzed over 50 months than either in those dialyzed during the shorter period or in the controls.
