Abstract

Objective: To study procalcitonin as an early and accurate marker for urosepsis. Material & Method: We performed a diagnostic study of procalcitonin, CRP and peripheral blood leucocyte in 21 patients. Patients included 12 urosepsis patients with urosepsis, and 9 trauma patients without urosepsis. This study was conducted from September 2010 to December 2010. Results: Mean and standard deviation of procalcitonin level in urosepsis patients was 27,9 ± 30,7 ng/ml, CRP was 8,9 ± 7,9 mg/l and blood leucocyte was 15125,0 ± 8969,9 mm3. Sensitivity of procalcitonin in diagnosis of urosepsis was 83,3%, specificity was 77,8%, positive predictive value was 83,3%, negative predictive value was 77,8%, positive odds ratio was 3,75 and negative odds ratio was 0,2. Diagnostic value of procalcitonin was better compared to CRP and blood leucocyte. In the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) plot, area under the curve (AUC) for procalcitonin, blood leucocyte, and CRP were 0,806 (95% CI = 0,607 – 1,004), 0,773 (95% CI = 0,568 – 0,979), and 0,602 (95% CI = 0,341 – 0,863), respectively. Conclusion: Procalcitonin is an early marker for urosepsis cases with better diagnostic value than CRP and blood leucocyte. Keywords: Urosepsis, Procalcitonin, CRP, Blood Leucocyte.

Abstract

Objective: Determine change in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Material & Method: Eighteen men with age range of 50 – 69 years, were divided in two groups, group I 50-59 years (mean 56,5) and group II 60-69 years (mean 67,2). Both groups underwent measurement of serum PSA and IIEF-5 pre-operative, and repeated at 30, 60, and 90 days after TURP. Results: Level of serum PSA after TURP is decreased in most patients after 30, 60, and 90 days (72%, 72% and 78%). Mean value of PSA pre-operatively is 5,3 ± 3,3 ng/ml. After TURP, serum PSA level was 3,5 ± 3,0 ng/ml (30 days); 2,9 ± 2,9 ng/ml (60 days) and 1,8 ± 1,3ng/ml (90 days). Pre-operative PSA level was significantly decreased in Group I during the 60 and 90 days post TURP, while in Group II pre-operative PSA level was significantly decreased only in 90 days of observation. Overall there is no significant difference in PSA levels in both groups (p > 0,05). The decrease of PSA per gram resected in 30, 60, and 90 days were 0,10 ng/ml; 0,16 ng/ml and 0,24 ng/ml consecutively. There is no change in normal IIEF-5 score. Decrease of the IIEF-5 score in group I was measured at 30 days, but the score increased after 60 and 90 days. Meanwhile Group II showed decrease of IIEF-5 score. Pre-operative IIEF-5 score compared to the 30 days post TURP was significantly different but not significantly different compared with to score at 60 and 90 days. In Group I IIEF-5 score was significantly higher compared to Group II (p < 0,05). Prostatitis was found in 8 patients, but there is no difference in serum PSA level decrease between patients with or without prostatitis. Conclusion: There was significant decrease in serum PSA after TURP in BPH patients with LUTS at every measurement at 30, 60, and 90 days. PSA level after TURP depends on various factors, including pre-operative PSA, pre-operative prostate volume and prostate volume resected. Incidence of erectile dysfunction post TURP was low.
