To study reasons why serum PSA value (Markit-F) elevates in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
The relationship between total prostatic weight and the outer gland weight in 48 cases of BPH undergoing subcapsular prostatectomy was studied by ultrasound measurement. PSA was compared with prostatic weight, inner gland weight, outer gland weight, growth speed of the inner gland and age in the 48 cases.
It is well known that PSA elevates not only in the cases of prostatic cancer but also in the cases of BPH and that PSA correlates with the whole prostatic weight. This study revealed that the elevation of PSA in the cases of BPH was caused by enlargement of the inner gland.
研究良性前列腺增生(BPH)患者血清前列腺特异抗原(PSA)值(化学发光法)升高的原因。
对48例行前列腺包膜下切除术的BPH患者,通过超声测量研究前列腺总重量与外腺重量之间的关系。比较48例患者的PSA与前列腺重量、内腺重量、外腺重量、内腺生长速度及年龄。
1)外腺重量随BPH进展略有增加,但差异无统计学意义。2)PSA与内腺重量及内腺生长速度密切相关。3)PSA与外腺重量及年龄无关。
众所周知,PSA不仅在前列腺癌患者中升高,在BPH患者中也会升高,且PSA与前列腺总重量相关。本研究表明,BPH患者PSA升高是由内腺增大所致。
