Obese men with benign prostate hyperplasia might have lower serum prostate-specific antigen because of hemodilution, resulting in underestimation of total prostate volume by serum prostate-specific antigen. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of prostate-specific antigen mass as the absolute amount of prostate-specific antigen protein secreted into circulation with that of serum prostate-specific antigen in the prediction of total prostate volume.
A total of 1517 men with serum prostate-specific antigen up to 10 ng/mL, including 1425 with biopsy-proven benign prostate hyperplasia, were enrolled in this study. Height and weight were used to estimate body mass index, body surface area and plasma volume. Prostate-specific antigen mass was calculated as serum prostate-specific antigen multiplied by plasma volume. The association between serum prostate-specific antigen or prostate-specific antigen mass and transrectal ultrasound-measured total prostate volume were evaluated by Pearson's correlation coefficient (Υ), linear regression analyses and receiver operating characteristic curves.
Serum prostate-specific antigen had an inverse relationship with plasma volume, decreasing as plasma volume increased, after adjustment of total prostate volume. Larger total prostate volume per serum prostate-specific antigen was found in men with higher body mass index or plasma volume. Among all participants, the correlation (Υ = 0.456) between prostate-specific antigen mass and total prostate volume was apparently stronger than that (Υ = 0.442) between serum prostate-specific antigen and total prostate volume. Prostate-specific antigen mass outperformed serum prostate-specific antigen at estimating total prostate volume cut-off values of 30 and 40 mL. These findings were more significant in men aged ≥60 years.
Prostate-specific antigen mass performs better than serum prostate-specific antigen in estimating TPV, especially in men aged ≥60 years.
由于血液稀释,良性前列腺增生的肥胖男性的血清前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)可能较低,从而导致通过 PSA 低估总前列腺体积。本研究的目的是比较 PSA 质量(即循环中分泌的 PSA 蛋白的绝对量)与血清 PSA 在预测总前列腺体积方面的性能。
本研究共纳入 1517 名血清 PSA 达 10ng/mL 的男性,其中 1425 名经活检证实为良性前列腺增生。身高和体重用于估计体重指数、体表面积和血浆体积。PSA 质量计算为血清 PSA 乘以血浆体积。通过 Pearson 相关系数(Υ)、线性回归分析和受试者工作特征曲线评估血清 PSA 或 PSA 质量与经直肠超声测量的总前列腺体积之间的关系。
血清 PSA 与血浆体积呈负相关,在调整总前列腺体积后,随着血浆体积的增加而降低。在更高的体重指数或血浆体积的男性中,每单位血清 PSA 的总前列腺体积更大。在所有参与者中,PSA 质量与总前列腺体积之间的相关性(Υ=0.456)明显强于血清 PSA 与总前列腺体积之间的相关性(Υ=0.442)。PSA 质量在估计 30 和 40mL 的总前列腺体积截断值方面优于血清 PSA。这些发现对于年龄≥60 岁的男性更为显著。
PSA 质量在估计 TPV 方面优于血清 PSA,尤其是对于年龄≥60 岁的男性。
