  • Title: Acid phosphatase elevation with symptoms following transurethral prostatic resection.
    Author: O'Donnell PD.
    Journal: J Urol; 1984 Apr; 131(4):684-6. PubMed ID: 6200612.
    Abstract:
    Symptoms following transurethral prostatic resection for benign prostatic hypertrophy were evaluated in 100 patients. The occurrence of post-transurethral resection symptoms was monitored postoperatively and was found to be associated with an increase in serum acid phosphatase. The transient elevation of serum acid phosphatase after transurethral prostatic resection indicates that intraoperative absorption of prostatic tissue substances occurs. The intraoperative absorption of prostatic tissue substances may have a significant role in producing symptoms of post-transurethral resection syndromes.
