To evaluate cardiovascular risk, metabolic profile, low urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and sexual function in patients with nonfunctional pituitary macroadenoma (NFPMA) and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with testosterone therapy (TTh).
A retrospective clinical study at a tertiary care center was performed in 101 men with NFPMA, HH, and TTh; metabolic profile, cardiovascular risk, International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS), and International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5) scores were evaluated before initiation of TTh and at the last checkup with TTh.
Age was 49.3 ± 8.8 years; before TTh was 195 ng/mL (101-259) vs. 574 (423-774) at the last checkup. The time of TTh administration was 34 months (12-72). An increase in triglyceride levels (200 (153-294) vs. 174 (134-233) mg/dL; =0.03), dyslipidemia (40% vs. 52%; =0.03), and MetS (25% vs. 34%; =0.05) was corroborated. A statistical difference in the Globorisk score and cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification was not found. IIEF-5 score was 15.5 ± 6.5 vs. 17.8 ± 5.3 (=0.11). An improvement in penetration quality (2.0 ± 1.5 vs. 2.6 ± 1.3; =0.05), erection after penetration (1.8 ± 1.2 vs. 2.5 ± 1.6; =0.02), completion of intercourse (1.8 ± 1.2 vs. 2.4 ± 1.3; =0.03), and satisfaction of sexual intercourse (1.8 ± 1.3 vs. 2.5 ± 1.5; =0.01) was evidenced. IPSS score was 6 (IQR 2-10) vs. 7 (IQR 4-12); =0.30. A lower rate of intermittency (14% vs. 3%; =0.02), urgency (39% vs. 16%; =0.01), and episodes of nocturia (18% vs. 4%; =0.02) was found. An increase of hematocrit (44.1 ± 4.4 vs. 47.3 ± 4.4%; =0.001), hemoglobin (14.9 ± 1.4 vs. 15.9 ± 1.4 g/dL; =0.001), and prostatic specific antigen (0.59 (0.43-1.19) vs. 0.82 (0.45-1.4) ng/mL; =0.02) was evidenced during TTh.
TTh in young men with NFPMA improves LUTS, sexual function, and some metabolic parameters, and it is relatively safe in the prostatic context.
评估接受睾酮治疗(TTh)的无功能垂体大腺瘤(NFPMA)和低促性腺激素性性腺功能减退患者的心血管风险、代谢状况、下尿路症状(LUTS)和性功能。
在一家三级医疗中心对101例患有NFPMA、HH并接受TTh治疗的男性患者进行了一项回顾性临床研究;在开始TTh治疗前以及最后一次TTh检查时评估代谢状况、心血管风险、国际前列腺症状评分(IPSS)和国际勃起功能指数5(IIEF-5)评分。
年龄为49.3±8.8岁;TTh治疗前睾酮水平为195 ng/mL(101-259),最后一次检查时为574(423-774)。TTh治疗时间为34个月(12-72)。证实甘油三酯水平升高(200(153-294)对174(134-233)mg/dL;P=0.03)、血脂异常(40%对52%;P=0.03)和代谢综合征(25%对34%;P=0.05)。未发现Globorisk评分和心血管(CV)风险分层存在统计学差异。IIEF-5评分分别为15.5±6.5和17.8±5.3(P=0.11)。阴茎插入质量(2.0±1.5对2.6±1.3;P=0.05)、插入后勃起(1.8±1.2对2.5±1.6;P=0.02)、性交完成情况(1.8±1.2对2.4±1.3;P=0.03)和性交满意度(1.8±1.3对2.5±1.5;P=0.01)均有改善。IPSS评分分别为6(四分位间距2-10)和7(四分位间距4-12);P=0.30。发现间歇性排尿发生率降低(14%对3%;P=0.02)、尿急发生率降低(39%对16%;P=0.01)和夜尿次数降低(18%对4%;P=0.02)。TTh治疗期间证实血细胞比容升高(44.1±4.4对47.3±4.4%;P=0.001)、血红蛋白升高(14.9±1.4对15.9±1.4 g/dL;P=0.001)和前列腺特异性抗原升高(0.59(0.43-1.19)对0.82(0.45-1.4)ng/mL;P=0.02)。
年轻的NFPMA男性患者接受TTh治疗可改善LUTS、性功能和一些代谢参数,且在前列腺方面相对安全。
