Included Tests
PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels of PSA may indicate the presence of prostate cancer or other prostate conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostatitis. This marker is essential for screening and monitoring prostate health.
Free PSA measures the amount of PSA that is not bound to proteins in the blood. This value is important for determining the nature of prostate issues. A higher percentage of free PSA relative to total PSA may suggest a lower risk of prostate cancer.
The PSA ratio compares the levels of free PSA to total PSA. This ratio helps provide further insight into the likelihood of prostate cancer, guiding healthcare providers in making informed decisions about the need for further testing or intervention.
FAQs
This test is recommended for men, particularly those over 50 or those with a family history of prostate cancer. It helps assess prostate health and the risk of prostate cancer.
A blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm, and the levels of PSA, Free PSA, and the PSA Ratio are analyzed in a laboratory.
Results are typically available within 1–2 working days. You will be notified via email or text once your results are ready.
While no special preparation is required, it’s advisable to avoid ejaculation 24 hours prior to the test, as it may affect PSA levels. Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking or any medical conditions that could influence the results.
