Abstract

To determine whether an association exists between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) as assessed by the American Urological Association Symptom Index (AUA-SI) among both men and women, and to determine the association of CRP levels with the individual urologic symptoms comprising the AUA-SI among both men and women.
