Objectives  Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the most prevailing diseases in the world and is associated with sequelae of depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. The goal of our study is to measure the prevalence of erectile dysfunction, depression, and anxiety among patients suffering from CKD and to establish a correlation between them.  Methodology  The research was a single-centered, descriptive cross-sectional study. All male patients present at the time of the survey were interviewed, and then based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 84 were selected. The questionnaire comprised demographic variables, erectile function scoring using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) scale, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for depression and anxiety. All data were analyzed using SPSS Software 25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, USA).  Results  Out of 84 male patients, 47.6% had erectile dysfunction (ED). 10% of the affected individuals had depression and 3% reported having anxiety. No known external factors had any contribution to erectile malfunction, depression, and/or anxiety.  Conclusion  We found no correlation of depression and/or anxiety with ED in this population of male subjects undergoing hemodialysis.
