Objectives: To determine the prevalence and risk factors of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men on hemodialysis in Togo. Methods: Prospective cross-sectional study, descriptive and analytical ranging from December 2015 to February 2016 in the hemodialysis unit of CHU SO, only dialysis center in the country. The evaluation of the ED was made through IIEF-5 questionnaire. Results: 39 men (67.2%) of 58 hemodialysis is a sex ratio M/F of 2.05. The average age was 43.5 years with extremes of 25 and 59 years. The majority of men had a profession in 19 cases (48.7%). The mean duration of dialysis was 30 months with a range of 4 months and 90 months. Initial glomerular nephropathy was in 19 cases (48.7%) and vascular in 14 cases (35.9%). 38 patients were hypertensive (97.4%) and 6 diabetic men (15.4%). The prevalence of ED was 74.3% (29 cases). ED score was less than 10 points in 14 cases (35.9%); 01 case (2.6%) between 11 and 16 points; 06 cases (15.4%) between 17 to 21 points; 08 cases (20.5%) between 22 and 25 points; and 10 cases (25.6%) between 26 and 30 points. Age, profession and duration of dialysis were risk factors associated with ED (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The prevalence of ED is very high in Togo.
