Abstract
Clinically, the severity of uremia is inversely proportional to sexual desire and activity in patients with chronic renal failure. Men and women alike are affected, the deficiency being generally more obvious in men because of requirements for performance and psychologic adjustment.

With progressive azotemia the woman ceases ovulation and thence menstruation; libido diminishes, and she may actually be repulsed by sex. There is further suggestion that a girl in whom uremia develops before puberty, and who then receives conservative treatment through what would have otherwise . . .
