N2  - There remains a limited understanding of the etiology of CPPS. Given the diffuse nature of the symptoms and the heterogeneous nature of the patient population this is not surprising. Of the information that exists it is possible that further subdividing the patient population based on certain inflammatory criteria might be useful in basic research on CPPS going forward. Our laboratory and others have begun to understand and regard CPPS as an underlying autoimmune defect that is exacerbated by damage to the prostate resulting in a chronic symptomology. Much of this robust information on the emergence of CPPS has come from research performed in murine models of the disease.
