RESUMEN
El hipogonadismo masculino, manifestado por la disminución de los niveles séricos de testosterona,
representa una causa importante de morbimortalidad en pacientes mayores de 40 años. Su
prevalencia es proporcional a la edad, y las diversas manifestaciones clínicas, de índole física, sicológica
y sexual, conllevan a un marcado deterioro clínico del paciente. El impacto de la deficiencia de testosterona
sobre el aparato cardiovascular acelera la progresión de la enfermedad coronaria, disminuye la
sensibilidad a la insulina y aumenta la mortalidad global. Según la Sociedad Americana de Endocrinología,
el diagnóstico bioquímico se realiza con valores de testosterona total ‹300 mg/dL. Definir el
inicio de la terapia de reemplazo con testosterona siempre deberá incluir la clínica y las mediciones de
laboratorio. El efecto sistémico de la terapia se verá reflejado en la mejoría de la fatiga, de la libido y del
mejor control de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular, que incluye la disminución de la grasa visceral,
mejoría de la sensibilidad a la insulina, del perfil lipídico, de las cifras de presión arterial y en algunos
casos, disminución de la mortalidad.
