Serum Testosterone Levels After Cardiac Transplantation
Transplantation, 04/16/08

Fleischer J et al. - Low serum testosterone levels still occur in the early posttransplant period, probably related to HPG suppression by prednisone rather than direct testicular effects of CsA. They are not associated with bone loss in men receiving therapies to prevent osteoporosis. At later time points, low testosterone levels are common and apparently related to primary gonadal dysfunction, suggesting that long-term male heart transplant recipients should be evaluated for hypogonadism.
