Popis: To investigate the relationship of the prostate volume with the count of inflammatory cells in the peripheral blood and clarify the pathogenesis of BPH.From 2015 to 2019, we enrolled 104 men pathologically diagnosed with BPH. Using univariate and multivariate linear regression analysis models, we analyzed the correlation of the prostate volume with the neutrophil count, platelet count, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-WBC ratio (PWR), and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) in the peripheral blood of the patients.Both the platelet count (r = 0.401, P0.001) and PWR (r = 0.343, P0.001) in the peripheral blood were positively correlated with the prostate volume and serum PSA level, but not with IPSS. No evident relationship was found between the prostate volume and the systemic inflammatory markers NLR and LMR.The platelet count in the peripheral blood is an important predictor of BPH and may play an important role in the development and progression of BPH.
