Abstract

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a common problem effecting the men with increasing age which can cause many complications. Objective: To find out the frequency of Urinary Tract Abnormalities on Ultrasound associated with BPH. Methods: Descriptive study with sample size of 230 patients, conducted at Gilani Ultrasound Centre Lahore and Sanabil Health Services From July to November 2021.All patients coming with BPH were included in this study and their KUB scan done to diagnosed any urinary tract abnormalities. A convex transducer with a frequency of 3.5 to 5MHz was used for transabdominal scanning. Results: There were total of 230 patients who were presented with Benign prostate hyperplasia on Ultrasound scan, the minimum age ranged was 26 and maximum age was 90. In this study, Normal patients was 77 with 33.3%, Bilateral Hydronephrosis was in 3 patients 1.3%, Bilateral hydronephrosis with right sided Hydro ureter was in 1 patient 0.4%, Bilateral renal stones was in 3 patients 1.3%,Cystitis was in 50 patients 21.6%, Left renal cyst was in 9 patients 3.9%. Conclusion: Our study concluded that the patients coming with BPH presented with different urinary tract abnormalities on Ultrasound. Vesicoureteral reflux may concur the extravasation of urine may rarely occur due to bladder outlet obstruction in patients with BPH. BPH is a risk factor to develop UTI, cystitis, hydronephrosis and hydroureter
