Serum PSA and age-specific reference ranges in patients with prostatism symptoms
1Department of Urology, Vakif Gureba Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Abstract:
Prostatic specific antigen (PSA), a tumour marker helpful in the diagnosis and follow-up of prostate cancer, may rise due to causes other than prostate cancer (i.e. BPH, acute prostatitis, etc.). Investigations in order to increase the sensitivity and specificity of PSA in prostate carcinoma are being carried out. Serum PSA levels of patients with prostatism with regard to age as well as these levels in the male population at risk but without clinical prostatic disease (those above the age of 40) should be well documented. The aim of this study is to find age-specific values and ranges of PSA in patients with prostatism symptoms.
