Preparation for the examination
General
- The material for testing is blood.
- The patient does not need to fast. It is recommended to drink a glass of water approximately 30 minutes before the examination.
- Due to the possibility of falsely elevated results, the test should not be performed immediately after a biopsy, transureteral resection, palpation, sexual intercourse, or competitive cycling. In such cases, the test should be performed after 48 hours.
Description
The test includes the following markings:
– Total PSA,
– Dog free,
– Free PSA/Total PSA ratio.
The test is performed on men with total PSA levels between 4-10 ng/ml (the diagnostic gray zone) to differentiate between benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer. The test calculates the percentage of free PSA by comparing it to the total PSA concentration (fPSA/tPSA x 100). The lower the fPSA percentage, the higher the risk of prostate cancer.
PSA or fPSA levels should not be interpreted as definitive evidence of cancer, regardless of the result. A prostate biopsy is necessary for a definitive diagnosis of cancer.
