Abstract
Hypogonadism is a clinical condition comprising symptoms and laboratory evidence of testosterone deficiency and low androgen receptor sensitivity. The importance of hypogonadism in clinical practice is often underestimated. Androgen deficiency habitually occurs in various conditions causing abnormal functioning of many organs and systems, as well as impairing the quality of life in patients. Androgen deficiency often occurs with various somatic diseases. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most important medical and social problems of modern medicine, in which severe systemic (including hormonal) disorders occur. This review presents data on androgen deficiency in men with COPD and its potential impact on the patients. We have analyzed literary sources in the eLIBRARY and PubMed databases.
