- CBC
- Urinalysis
- Serum PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels
- Urine culture
- Postvoid residual volume levels
- 2-glass pre- and post-prostatic massage test

- Semen analysis
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of acute prostatitis include:[4]
- Increased leukocytes on CBC
- Bacteria seen on urine culture
- Elevated C-reactive protein
- Transiently elevated PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of chronic bacterial prostatitis include:[5]
- Negative pre-massage urine culture results
- More than 10 to 20 white blood cells per high-power field in both the pre- and the postmassage urine specimen
- Bacteriuria in the postmassage urine specimen
