ABSTRACT
Renal failure impairs the endocrine system, especially in women, due to hyperprolac-tinemia, altering fertility, ovulatory cycles, libido and growth in adolescents. Renal transplantation is considered the best solution to the problems of renal failure and and of dialysis, as evidenced by comparing the rate of hyperprolactinemia [100% in chronic renal failure, 60% in patients on dialysis and 35% in posttransplantation]. Kidney transplant is less efficient for restoring perfect function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis due in part to the immunosuppressant regimens prescribed. When these drugs are properly managed, transplantation will restore near normal sexual function
