Abstract Estimation of sperm motility by conventional method is prone to human subjective errors and detailed analysis of additional motion characteristics such as velocity, linearity and lateral head displacement are not possible by microcopic observation alone (Knuth et al., 1987). Computer ’aided sperm analysis (CASA), a recent technological advance in the methods for performing semen analysis, can perform standardized analysis rapidly and objectively by using computer image processing and analysis technique and makes it possible tomeasure a ~ number of sperm motion, head shape and size that are difficult or impractical to be measured manually (Boyers et al 1989).Successful renal transplantation has been suggested to restore libido, potency and fertility (Phadke et al., 1970). However, infertility problem has been found to persist in many of these patients (Penn et al., 197 1; Baumgarten et ~al., 1977 and Haberman’ et al 1991).This study was conducted upon (63) persons: (32) renal transplant recipient (16 infertile and 16 fertile) and (31) non renal transplant (15) infertile and 16 fertil6) |
