Research Studies

Objective To determine whether anabolic steroids are useful in the management of the malnutrition of chronic renal failure. Data Source Original research studies and book chapters about anabolic steroids and their use in uremia and various illnesses associated with malnutrition. We included studies that describe the benefits of anabotic steroids in the treatment of anemia and sexual dysfunction of chronic renal failure. Forty-two such studies were published between 1942 and 1992. Results Anabolic steroids improve the nutritional status and sexual dysfunction of uremic men. In addition, anabolic steroids have a recognized place in the treatment of the anemia of chronic renal failure. Conclusions Based on the findings of noncontrolled studies, one may conclude that anabolic steroids exert a beneficial effect in the malnutrition of renal failure. We believe that their efficacy should be established by controlled studies.

The authors describe a case of a patient who presents with a delusional interpretation of a somatic symptom, uremic pruritus. The literature on the diagnosis and treatment of monosymptomatic hypochondriacal psychosis (MHP) is reviewed and discussed. There is an effective treatment available for this disabling condition — a neuroleptic agent called pimozide, which appears to have a selective ability to block central dopaminergic receptors.

Sexual problems in patients with chronic renal failure are both common and varied and have been shown to significantly impair quality of life. Sexual dysfunction is found in at least two-thirds of both haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients and numerous factors both physical and psychological may contribute. It is probably less frequent in transplant patients but still affects at least half. This chapter describes the most clinically relevant physical and psychological factors which may play a role in the pathophysiology of sexual dysfunction and summarizes several therapeutic approaches to these problems.
