ABSTRACT: 

One of the most common clinical conditions in men is prostate disease, especially prostatitis, which causes various symptoms, that negatively affect patient life. Our current study investigated the relationship between prostatitis and IL-6, zinc, and ESR levels for patients who visited AL-Sader Medical City in the province of AL-Najaf, between March and November 2023. our study included 90 samples of people infected with prostatitis and 30 samples of healthy people between the ages of (20-40) years. The level of IL-6 was calculated using the ELISA technique, The level of zinc as an antioxidant asses by using the spectrophotometer and ESR was measured by using the Westergren technique to determine the inflammation case in patients and compared with the healthy group. The results showed an increase in the level of IL-6 in patients with prostatitis compared with a healthy group (908.72±140.19,214.16±85.56) pg/ml respectively. but showed a decrease in the level of Zinc in prostatitis patients compared with the healthy group (38.93±10.92U/ml, 89.36±9.61U/ml) respectively. Also showed an elevated level of ESR, where according to (48.41±13.49 ) mm/hour in patients group compared with a healthy group (14.60±4.14) mm/ hour. The data was analyzed by SPSS program version 23, where the factor effect was considered significant when p<0.05. we conclude from our current study the significant relationship between IL-6, Zinc levels, and prostatitis, as well as the role of the ESR test as an indicator of prostatitis
