title: [Tissue plasminogen activator in urine of patients with prostatic carcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia].
abstract: In the 20 patients with prostatic carcinoma (PC) and the 18 with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) the level of tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA:Ag) was examined. As a compared group consisted of 24 healthy volunteers. In the urine of examined patients with PC and BPH and control the t-PA:Ag was absent or present only in trace amounts. We concluded that the t-PA:Ag in the urine of patients with PC can not be as a marker in the diagnosis of prostatic diseases especially in the prostatic carcinoma.
