Özet

Objective. To determine if there is a relationship between acute urinary retention ( AUR), the prostate- specific antigen ( PSA) level and chronic inflammation of the prostate. We therefore studied patients with benign prostatic obstruction ( BPO) with ( n = 64) or without ( n = 168) acute urinary retention ( AUR) who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate ( TURP) in a retrospective case control study.
