Abstract
En 中文
Background/Aims: Liver cirrhosis is frequently associated with sexual dysfunction and hormonal abnormalities, To evaluate the effect of portosystemic shunting on sex steroid serum concentrations, a prospective study was performed in cirrhotic patients treated consecutively and electively by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPS). Methods: In 27 patients with liver cirrhosis we measured serum levels of testosterone (T), sexual hormone binding globulin (SHBG), luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, androstenedione (A), estradiol (E-2), 17-OH-progesterone and the T/SHBG ratio before and 3 months after TIPS, Results: In men (n = 17) 3 months after TIPS, A and E-2 significantly increased, with mean serum levels rising from 4.4 +/- 2.5 to 5.6 +/- 2.9 ng/ml (P = 0.04) and from 27 +/- 9 to 40 +/- 19 pg/ml (P = 0.003), respectively. In contrast to A the increase of E-2 persisted at 9 and 15 months after TIPS, Erectile dysfunction increased from 30% before TIPS to 70% after TIPS, In women (n = 10) A and E-2 levels did not change significantly after TIPS. Conclusions: TIPS aggravated hormonal dysbalance of ses steroids in favor of estrogens (hyperestrogenism) in men, (C) 2001 European Association for the Study of the Liver.
