Inflammation in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Correlation With Prostate Specific Antigen Value

Abstract

Prostatic subclinical inflammation is not associated with high urinary PSA. Unless associated with glandular epithelial disruption, density of prostatic interstitial inflammatory cell infiltrate is not significantly correlated with serum PSA concentration. We believe that this issue should be considered when interpreting a prostate biopsy.
