Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional study in a group of 60 men (case) undergoing CH for more than 6 months, and a group of 30 healthy men (control), aged 18-60 years, without clinical or laboratory signs of infection\/inflammation. Spermiogram was performed, fertility index (FI) was calculated and ST and sex hormones (SH) levels were measured, including follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, total testosterone, and prolactin. Results: All individuals were eugonadal. No differences for age (49.47 \u00b1 5.56, 47.90 \u00b1 6.2, p = 0.22) were observed between cases and controls, whereas there were significant differences between the individuals in the case and control groups with respect to the mean FI (p = 0.000), seminal parameters (SP) (p = 0.000), and ST levels (40.12 \u00b1 08.25 vs 73.32 \u00b1 06.8, p = 0.000). ST levels were correlated with FI (r = 0.787, p = 0.00) and SP (motility: r = 0.857, p = 0.000; vitality: r = 0.551, p = 0.000; density: r = 0.850, p = 0.000; normal morphology: r = 0.386, p = 0.000). Linear regression model showed relationship of ST levels with total sperm motility (R2 = 0.701; p = 0.000) and and FI (R2 = 0.569; p = 0.000). Conclusions: Our results suggest that seminal quality is associated with ST levels and FI and that it can be used the initial investigation of subfertility\/infertility of patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis..<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4081\/aiua.2018.1.49","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,10]],"date-time":"2018-04-10T12:55:37Z","timestamp":1523364937000},"page":"49","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Seminal transferrin in the seminal quality evaluation of hemodialytic patients"],"prefix":"10.4081","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Gilmar Pereira","family":"Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabiana Pirani","family":"Carneiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vitor Pereira Xavier","family":"Grangeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2549","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,31]]},"container-title":["Archivio Italiano di Urologia e Andrologia"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.pagepressjournals.org\/index.php\/aiua\/article\/viewFile\/7282\/7114","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/www.pagepressjournals.org\/index.php\/aiua\/article\/viewFile\/7282\/7114","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,10]],"date-time":"2018-04-10T12:56:10Z","timestamp":1523364970000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.pagepressjournals.org\/index.php\/aiua\/article\/view\/aiua.2018.1.49"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,31]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,31]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4081\/aiua.2018.1.49","relation":{},"ISSN":["2282-4197","1124-3562"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2282-4197","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1124-3562","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,31]]}}}
