[The activity of alpha-2 macroglobulin in the blood of patients with prostatic carcinoma].
The activity of alpha 2-macroglobulin in the blood of the patients with prostatic carcinoma (PC) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was examined. It was shown an decrease of alpha 2-macroglobulin in patients with prostatic carcinoma in comparison with control group consisted of the patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The low activity of alpha 2-macroglobulin in the blood od the patients with PC can be a symptom of an increase risk of haemorrhagic complications.
