[Changes in serum levels of lipid peroxidation products and ceruloplasmin in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia in uncomplicated and complicated periods after transurethral electro-resection].

Lipid peroxidation products and ceruloplasmin in the serum were measured in 78 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in uncomplicated or complicated period after transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR) and before it. In uncomplicated period, a short rise in lipid peroxidation activity and lowering of ceruloplasmin concentrations were followed by normalisation by day 6. In the complicated postoperative period by day 6 these indices were higher. The authors propose that these indices are used in assessment of antioxidants efficacy after TUR for BPH.
