title: [Sexual dysfunction in males in long-term hemodialysis].
abstract: A quick survey of the literature and the author's own observations in 93 males in dialysis enable them to define the model of sexual dysfunction affecting this kind of patients. Psychological, organic and iatrogenic factors are often linked to create complex troubles, often minimized by the patients themselves. It is still difficult to know whether the important biological - in particular hormonal - disorders necessarily induce impotence. Big efforts in the research and the management of these patients are needed to help them in improving their quality of life.
