Background

Hyperprolactinemia (HPRL), a common endocrine disorder in end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) hemodialysis patients with hyperparathyroidism (HPTH), severely impacts quality of life and prognosis.

Methods

Clinical data of 113 CKD hemodialysis patients (45 males, 68 females; age 59.95±2.12 years; disease duration 5.07±0.71 years) from January 2021 to December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were stratified by prolactin (PRL) levels: mild (L-HPRL: greater than 1 times normal), moderate (M-HPRL: 1–2 times), and severe (H-HPRL: greater than 3 times). Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0.

Results

HPRL prevalence was 75.22% (85/113), higher in females (P<0.05). Patients were divided into 3 groups:L-HPRL 41 (36.28%), M-HPRL 15 (13.27%), H-HPRL 29 (25.66%). HPTH coexisted in 62.83% (71/113), most severe in L-HPRL (P<0.05). Male sexual dysfunction included erectile dysfunction (45.83%), reduced libido (33.33%), and orgasmic disorder (20.83%).

Conclusion

HPRL is prevalent in end-stage CKD hemodialysis patients, strongly associated with HPTH and sexual dysfunction, with mild HPRL showing the most pronounced parathyroid abnormalities, guiding clinical diagnosis and management.
