Core Tip	The goal was to investigate the relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and (1) bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and (2) the severity of prostate inflammation. We performed a prospective study on 222 consecutive patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate. Patients with proven urinary tract infection and/or known prostate cancer were excluded. PSA levels, International Prostate Symptoms Score, prostate weight, post residual volume and pressure flow parameters were determined. A histopathological assessment of the presence and severity of inflammation was also performed. In this study we showed a correlation between BOO (PdetQmax) and PSA (logarithmic). Furthermore, we demonstrated a weak correlation between PSA (logarithmic) and active as well as chronic prostatic inflammation.
