Evaluation of prostate-specific antigen in patients with urinary tract infection

Abstract

Evaluation of prostate-specific antigen in patients with urinary tract infection. Bloodsamples were collected from patients with UTI and healthy control. Prostate SpecificAntigen (PSA) in patients and healthy control were estimated using ELISA system. thestudy current included 50 patients suffering with UTI and 40 of the control group(healthy). Patients age groups ranged between 35-58 years and divided into four groupsaccording to their age percentage 30% patients among 35-40 years, 22% patients among41-46 years and 18 % patients among 47-53 years and 30% patients among 53-58 years.Mean concentration of the PSA level in patients serum with UTI was the highconcentration in normal PSA levels (11.5±4.4) and (14.3±3.9) in high PSA levels of theage groups (53-58 years), In comparison with healthy groups (control). The results studyof PSA level in serum with the age groups that their correlated between patients withUTI were significantly different (P<0.01). Significant relationships between totalprostate specific antigen levels and male. The detection of genotypes for prostatespecificantigen in a patient. Furthermore, it needed to detection early diagnosis in casesof urinary tract infection in male and early treatment to avoid complication.
