69 patients with BPH complicated and not complicated by metabolic syndrome (MS) are examined. It is revealed, that c-reactive protein correlated positively with BPH volume, and negatively with serum testosterone level. Information obtained testifies to more pronounced prostatic hyperplasia, decreased androgen saturation and elevated inflammation status of BPH patients complicated by the MS, comparing to the BPH patients without MS. It is supposed that BPH proceeds simultaneously with an immune-inflammatory disease.
