Testosterone deficiency in male organ transplant recipients
Abstract
Testosterone deficiency is known to affect men with increasing incidence throughout their lifespan. The clinical manifestations of testosterone deficiency, in turn, negatively impact men's quality of life and perception of overall health. The interaction of chronic systemic disease and androgen deficiency represent an area for potential intervention. Here, we explore the topic of testosterone deficiency amongst men with end-stage organ failure requiring transplantation in order to elucidate the underlying pathophysiology of androgen deficiency of chronic disease and discuss whether intervention, including testosterone replacement and organ transplantation, improve patients' outcomes and quality of life.
