AbstractErectile dysfunction (ED) is a major global health burden commonly observed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although renal transplantation improves the problem in some patients, it persists in ≈20–50% of recipients. Studies regarding the effects of kidney transplantation on ED present contradictory findings. We performed a systematic review to summarise the effects of kidney transplantation on ED. A systematic literature search was performed across PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus databases in April 2020. We included all prospective studies that investigated the pre and posttransplant international index of erectile function (IIEF-5) scores in recipients with ED. Data search in PubMed and Google Scholar produced 1326 articles; eight were systematically reviewed with a total of 448 subjects. Meta-analysis of IIEF-5 scores showed significant improvements between pre and post transplantation. Our findings confirm that renal transplantation improves erectile function. Furthermore, transplantation also increases testosterone level. However, the evidence is limited because of the small number of studies. Further studies are required to investigate the effects of renal transplantation on erectile function.

Abstract Background: Patients with kidney failure treated with dialysis or kidney transplantation experience difficulties maintaining employ­­ment due to the condition itself as well as the treatment. We aimed to establish the rate of employment before and after initiation of dialysis and after kidney transplantation and to identify predictors of employment during dialysis and post-transplant.Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis, PRISMA, for studies that included employment rate in adults receiving dialysis or a kidney transplant. The literature search included cross sectional or cohort studies published in English in the period from January 1966 to August 2020 in the databases PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Data of employment rate, study population, age, gender, educational level, dialysis duration, kidney donor, ethnicity, dialysis modality, waiting time for transplantation, diabetes, and depression were extracted. Quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analysis for predictors for employment and odds ratio; confidence intervals; and test for heterogeneity were calculated using Chi-squared statistics and I2. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020188853.Results. 33 studies with 162,059 participants during dialysis and 31 studies with 137,742 participants receiving kidney transplantation. Dialysis patients were on average 52.6 years old (range 16-79), 60.3% males and kidney transplant patients 46.7 years old (range 18-78), 59.8% males. The employment rate (weighted mean) for dialysis patients was 26.3% (range 10.5-59.7%); pre-transplant 36.9% (range 25-86%), and post-transplant 38.2% (range 14.2-85%). Predictors for employment during dialysis and post-transplant were male, non-diabetic, peritoneal dialysis, and higher educational level, and post-transplant: pre-transplant employment, younger age, transplantation with a living donor kidney, and without depression.Conclusions: Patients with kidney failure had a low employment rate during dialysis, pre- and post-transplant. Kidney failure patients should be supported through a combination of clinical and social measures to ensure they remain in work.
