| Popis: | Objectives To determine whether low-grade systemic inflammation is associated with prostatic enlargement/benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods Prostate volume was measured by transrectal ultrasonography in 576 Japanese men. The association between prostate volume and routine clinical inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein level, white blood cell count, or the differential white cell count [neutrophils, lymphocytes, basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes]) were analyzed. Contributors to prostate volume were identified in univariate and multivariable linear regression models. Results Prostate volume was found to have a positive association with serum prostate-specific antigen level (P |
