Abstract

Background and Design: Using an ultrasensitive assay, PSA has been detected in female serum and has been proposed as a potential marker of androgen excess in hirsute women. The object of this present study was to investigate an association between hirsutism and serum PSA levels. Material and Method: A total of 47 women with hirsutism and 24 age-matched nonhirsute women were included in this study. Using an ultrasensitive chemiluminescent immunoassay serum PSA were determined in all subjects. Results: Serum levels of PSA were higher in hirsute women than in nonhirsute controls (p

Özet

Amaç: Kadınlarda, bir ultrasensitif analizin kullanımıyla serumda Prostat spesifik antijen (PSA) tespit edilmiş ve hirsut kadınlarda androjen fazlalığının potansiyel bir belirteci olarak kullanımı önerilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hirsutizm ve serum PSA seviyeleri arasındaki bir ilişkiyi araştırmaktı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaşa göre eşleştirilmiş 47 hirsut ve 24 hirsut olmayan kadın dahil edildi. Bütün hastalarda serum PSA’ı ultrasensitif kemiluminesant immun analiz yöntemi çalışılarak saptandı. Bulgular: Hirsut kadınlarda serum PSA seviyeleri hirsut olmayan kontrol grubundan yüksekti (p
