Abstract:
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of serum procallcitonin(PCT)in the diagnosis of prostatitis.Methods 125 cases of patients with bacterial prostatitis,85 cases of patients with non-bacterial prostatitis and 90 cases of healthy individuals were selected as subjects,and serum levels of PCT were detected and compared.The diagnostic efficacy of PCT in the diagnosis of bacterial prostatitis was evaluated as well.Results The serum level of PCT of patients with bacterial prostatitis were higher than those of patients with non-bacterial prostatitis and healthy individuals,had statistically significant differences(P <0.05).The sensi-tivity and specificity of PCT for diagnosing bacterial prostatitis was 72.0% and 89.0%,and PLT had good diagnostic efficacy.Con-clusion Determination of PCT could provide references for early diagnosis and differentiation of PLT,and rational treatment.
