Patients were classified as either having a serum creatinine of more than or less than 4mg. per 100ml. when they were discharged from the hospital. Admission serum creatinine levels were comparable in both groups. Characteristics of the group with permanently impaired renal function included a longer mean duration of symptoms, higher incidence of urinary tract infection, lower average volume of residual urine and greater incidence of small kidneys with increased parenchymal echogenicity. These data assist in the objective prediction of patients who will have irreversible renal dysfunction when presenting with obstructive benign prostatic hyperplasia. © 1989 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byRULE A, LIEBER M and JACOBSEN S (2018) IS BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA A RISK FACTOR FOR CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE?Journal of Urology, VOL. 173, NO. 3, (691-696), Online publication date: 1-Mar-2005.
