Pd03-08 the Activated Complement Pathway in the Fibrous Process of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

You have accessJournal of UrologyBenign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Basic Research 10.7±8.2%, fibrous group; 16.4±12.7%) and C5b-9 (fibromuscular group; 15.9±6.2%, fibrous group; 17.6±9.2%) were significantly higher in the fibrous group (p=0.04, p=0.04, respectively). International Prostate Symptom Score Q5 subscore, indicating slow stream, was significantly higher in the fibrous group (p=0.04). CONCLUSIONS: In fibrous BPH with abundant fibrosis, the late complement pathway in addition to alternative pathway was activated compared to fibromuscular BPH. These results suggested that the alternative and late complement pathways was involved in the histological fibrous process of BPH.
