Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of catheterization on the serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) in acute urinary retention (AUR) patients due to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Methods The data of 35 patients with AUR due to BPH were analyzed, and the changes in serum PSA values were compared before and after catheterization. The effect of AUR on serum PSA in BPH patients was discussed. Results It has been found that serum PSA declined from 9.93?8.85ng/ml to 6.46?5.75ng/ml after catheterization for the patients of AUR with BPH, and the values showed a significant difference (P0.05) in the patients in whom the serum PSA ≤4ng/ml, while a significant difference existed in both the group of patients in whom the serum PSA was 4~10ng/ml (from 5.95?1.43ng/ml to 4.09?2.00ng/ml, P10ng/ml (from 18.93?8.49ng/ml to 11.49?6.37ng/ml, P4ng/ml.
