Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is typically diagnosed through clinical evaluation rather than specific lab values. However, elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels can be associated with BPH, although they are not definitive for the condition, as they can also indicate prostate cancer or prostatitis. Urinalysis may show signs of urinary tract infection or hematuria, while post-void residual urine volume can be assessed through ultrasound to determine bladder emptying efficiency. Overall, lab values are used to rule out other conditions rather than diagnose BPH directly.
lab values for n is 135,lab values for k is 3.5 to 5.5.
recording a series of lab values over a period of time to see if they change
BPH is part of the aging process
In lab the values are obtained under controlled atmosphere and specific guidelines which can be maintained for long but outside the lab we cannot maintain same atmosphere.

difference between bph and prostatomegaly
BPH is benign prostatic hyperplasia
you will be looking for beta natriuretic peptide increases... otherwise known as BNP other abnormal lab values
BPH is an acronym for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. BPH is an enlargement of the male prostate gland which, though non-cancerous, can cause discomfort and urinary and erectile issues.
Whether or not BPH is caused by hormonal changes in aging men, there is no known way of preventing it
Get a copy of the lab results and take them to your physician.
The normal lab values for lipase are 10 - 140 U/L. This being said, there are many factors which need to be considered when interpreting lab results. Even a value within this range could represent a problem. Only qualified health care professionals should make treatment decisions.
