Correlations between parameters in uroflowmetry and histological compositions in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The objective of this study was to determine whether area densities of histological elements within prostatic adenoma affect objective and subjective parameters of patients with prostatic hyperplasia. Modified uroflowmetry parameters including Qmax/T100, TQmax/T100 and voiding efficiency were also measured. The area densities of histological elements did not affect uroflowmetry parameters. In addition, subjective symptom score was not correlated with morphometric findings. Our findings suggest that the degree of infravesical obstruction as measured by uroflowmetry parameters and symptom scores cannot be explained by the tissue compositions of adenomas alone.
