[Andrological abnormalities in internal diseases and following drug therapy].
In the present paper the following non-endocrine internal diseases are discussed: liver cirrhosis, diabetes, chronic renal failure and morbus Crohn. In alcoholic liver patients under fifty, hypospermia and oligozoospermia can be observed. The hormone assays showed moderately increased FSH- and LH-values in the serum; prolactin, testosterone and estradiol remained normal. An increased binding of testosterone to SHBG is supposed, and the androgen deficiency symptoms are considered to be due to the elevated binding of testosterone to SHBG. The other non-endocrine internal diseases and drug-groups (cytostatics, steroids, neuroleptics, antihypertensives, antiarrhythmics, nitrofurans, levamisole, fungicides and salazosulfapyridine) are reviewed on the basis of literature. After the administration of 1 g per day of cimetidine for four weeks in patients under fifty with duodenal ulcer, notable andrological side effects were not revealed by neither clinical nor hormone examinations.
