A Study of Relationship of Prostate Volume, Prostate Specific Antigen and age in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common benign tumors in men with prevalence ranging from 50% for men in their 50s to 90% for men in their 90s. We sought to determine the relationship of prostate volume, prostate specific antigen and age in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia getting admitted under the Department of Surgery in Assam Medical College and Hospital, Assam, India. Material and Methods: The study was done in the Department of Surgery, Assam Medical College and Hospital, Dibrugarh, during the period of 1st June 2015 to 31st May 2016. The study was based on 40 cases of symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Cases with prostate specific antigen >10 ng/ml were excluded. The variables of age, prostate volume and prostate specific antigen were examined. A P-value <0.05 was considered significant. Findings in patients were compared to other ethnicities. Results: 40 men were enrolled with mean age 64.1 years, mean prostate volume 43 cc (range 23.8 - 143 cc) and mean prostate specific antigen 2.3 ng/ml (range 0.28 – 8.76 ng/ml). Overall, 27.5% (11/40) had prostate volume <30 cc and 42.5% (17/40) had prostate volume ≥50 cc. Age has significant correlation with prostate volume and prostate specific antigen. Also, there was significant positive correlation between prostate volume and prostate specific antigen. Conclusion: Age demonstrated significant but weak positive correlations with prostate volume and prostate specific antigen. Only prostate specific antigen and prostate volume showed a significant and strong positive correlation. Prostate volume and prostate specific antigen values were found to be similar to other ethnicities
