Abstract
This interesting work has the merit of bringing attention to some important aspects of prostatic pathology, which have not yet received the necessary attention. 1 De Nunzio C. Brassetti A. Gacci M.

Full-Text PDF ReplyUrologyVol. 86Issue 2PreviewEmerging evidence suggests that prostatic inflammation may play a role in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) development and progression.1 Furthermore, the presence of prostatic inflammatory infiltrates may influence the expression and the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and/or BPH at different stage. In particular, in naïve and/or untreated patients with BPH, metabolic syndrome (MetS), a well-established cause of systemic inflammation, is associated with an increased risk of storage symptoms2; in pharmacologically treated patients, those with low-grade inflammation presented a 3.5 higher LUTS improvement than high-grade group3; in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), we confirmed the association between MetS and prostate inflammation and demonstrated that patients with inflammatory infiltrates mostly benefit from TURP, particularly regarding storage symptoms.
