We aimed to evaluate, if complete blood counts (CBC) before prostate biopsy could predict the result of the prostate biopsy performed due to the increased PSA levels in this study. We retrospectively evaluated the data of the 281 patients whom undergone a prostate biopsy because of the increased levels of PSA in three university hospital. Patient's age, pre-biopsy CBC, total PSA, free PSA, prostate volume and pathological results were recorded. Patients were grouped according to the pathological results such as; I: prostate cancer, II: Benign prostate hiperplasia, III: chronic prostatitis. We evaluated the predictive effect of CBC and ratios of this counts among the three groups statistically. There were a statistically significant difference among the three groups regarding platelet count, neutrophil/monocyte (NMR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR). The patelet count and PLR are significantly higher in group III rather than group I and II. Also the NMR was significantly higher in group III than group II. We have shown that pre-biopsy platelet count, NMR and PLR could predict the chronic prostatitis result of patient whom undergone a prostate biopsy because of the increased levels of PSA. Furthermore, prospective case-controlled, large studies would be helpful to explore the predictive value of CBC on the prostate biopsy results.
