Abstract

Geriatrik dönem köpeklerde, yaşla ilişkili olarak, farklı hastalıkların klinik görülme insidansında bir artış şekillenir. Bu hastalıkların en önemlilerinden biri de prostat hiperplazisidir. Veteriner Hekimlere muayene için getirilen erkek köpeklerin % 3-10'unda prostat hiperplazisine rastlandığı bilinmektedir. Prostat hastalıkları, genellikle, klinik belirtilerin değerlendirilmesiyle ayırt edilememektedir. Kesin tanı için ultrasonografi, enzimatik ölçümler ve biyopsi gerekir. Olası durumlarda hangi teşhis araçlarının kullanılacağını belirlemek doğru tanı ve doğru tedavi protokolünün ortaya konmasında büyük önem arz eder. Bu çalışmada geriatrik dönem köpeklerde prostat hiperplazisinin tanısında ultrasonografi ve spesifik enzim ölçüm sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Geriatrik 24 köpekte yapılan ultrasonografik muayenede, ortalama değer olarak, prostat boyu 4.88±0.15 cm, prostat eni 3.98±0.11 cm, prostat yüksekliği 3.46±0.13 cm ve prostat hacmi ise 35.18±2.01 cm3 olarak belirlendi. Sadece prostat hiperplazisi tanısı konan köpeklerde ise; ortalama değer olarak, prostat boyu 4.93±0.24 cm, prostat eni 3.74±0.11 cm, prostat yüksekliği 3.63±0.11 cm ve prostat hacmi ise 34.97±2.44 cm3 olarak tespit edildi. Çalışmadaki köpeklerin tamamında PSA düzeyi <0.006 ng/mL olarak ölçüldü.

Comparative Evaluation of PSA and USG Results in the Diagnosis of Prostate Hyperplasia in Geriatric Dogs

Abstract

In geriatric dogs, there is an increase in the incidence of clinical manifestations of different diseases in relation to age. One of the most important of these diseases is prostatic hyperplasia. It is known that 3-10% of male dogs brought to veterinarians for examination have prostatic hyperplasia. Prostate diseases are generally not differentiated by evaluation of clinical signs. Ultrasonography, enzymatic measurements and biopsy are required for definitive diagnosis. Determining which diagnostic tools to use in possible situations is of great importance in establishing the correct diagnosis and correct treatment protocol. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the results of ultrasonography and specific enzyme measurement in the diagnosis of prostatic hyperplasia in geriatric dogs. In the ultrasonographic examination performed in 24 geriatric dogs, the mean value was determined as prostate length 4.88±0.15 cm, prostate width 3.98±0.11 cm, prostate height 3.46±0.13 cm and prostate volume 35.18±2.01 cm3. In dogs diagnosed only with prostatic hyperplasia; as the mean value, prostate length was 4.93±0.24 cm, prostate width was 3.74±0.11 cm, prostate height was 3.63±0.11 cm, and prostate volume was 34.97±2.44 cm3. PSA level was measured as <0.006 ng/mL in all dogs in the study.
