Abstract：Objective To investigate the prevalence proportion and influencing factors of erectile dysfunction in male patients receiving peritoneal dialysis(PD),and to provide a basis for clinical intervention.Methods A total of 170 male patients undergoing maintenance PD in Jinling Hospital from January to June 2025 were selected as the study subjects.And the international erectile function index-5 was used to evaluate sexual function of the patients.The general data,dialy-sis adequacy,nutritional status and other clinical indicators were collected.The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influence factors of erectile dysfunction in the patients with PD.Results The incidence of erectile dysfunction in male patients with PD was 45.3％.And univariate analysis showed that age,education level,smoking history,dialysis-related symptoms and depressive status were significantly correlated with erectile dysfunction in male patients(all P＜0.05).Ordered logistic regression analysis identified age,sleep duration,smoking history,albumin and total cholesterol as independent risk factors for erectile dysfunction in male patients with PD.Conclusion The incidence of erectile dys-function is relatively high in male patients with PD which is influenced by various physiological and psychological factors.Clinically,attention should be paid to patients' nutritional status,sleep quality,and other factors,with comprehensive in-terventions implemented to improve sexual function and overall quality of life.
