Abstract: Objectives: To assess the influence of renal transplantation on sexual function. Methods: Prospective study including all patients who underwent a kidney transplantation between January 2013 and February 2015. Sexual function was measured before, at 6, 12 months after transplantation and at the last follow-up with IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function) and FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index questionnaires). Results: Median FSFI total score significantly increased in women at 6 months. In men, median IIEF total score significantly increased at one year. Conclusion: Our study provides evidence suggesting that successful transplantation can improve normal sexual function in both men and women with chronic kidney failure. Competing Interests: No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s). (© 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.)
