The bulbocavernous reflex (BCR), cortical pudendal evoked responses (CPERs), non-invasive cardiovascular tests and nerve conduction studies were performed in 16 patients on chronic haemodialysis and in a group of normal subjects. BCR and CPERs were more severely affected in patients with impotence. There was a significant correlation between the Valsalva ratio and P1 latency of the CPERs. The BCR and CPERs are alternative techniques for the assessment of impotence in uremic patients.
