Abstract
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) obstructs the bladder outlet. Patients with BPH frequently present with lower urinary tract symptoms. However, patients with BPH can present with serious fatal complications unless diagnosed and treated sufficiently. In this case report, we present the case of a 63-year-old male patient with renal insufficiency, generalized edema, and portal hypertension due to chronic obstructive uropathy secondary to BPH. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to present portal hypertension secondary to BPH as a rare complication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
