Ankara Etlik City Hospital73 enrolled

Overview

The gold standard diagnosis in patients admitted to the hospital with the complaint of erectile dysfunction is penile doppler ultrasonography. This procedure is an invasive procedure and can cause various complications. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to support and define the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction with some biomarkers that can be measured in blood samples. At this point, we performed penile doppler ultrasonography, which is the gold standard test, for all patients who applied with the complaint of erectile dysfunction, and compared the results of penile doppler and serum biomarkers in the patients.
