What is Acid Phosphatase Total and prostatic fraction?
This test measures the levels of acid phosphatase in your blood, specifically distinguishing between the total amount and the fraction that comes from the prostate gland. It helps assess prostate health and can be useful in certain medical evaluations.
Why is this test important?
Elevated levels of the prostatic fraction of acid phosphatase can be an indicator of prostate conditions, including prostate cancer, especially when monitoring its progression or response to treatment. The total acid phosphatase may also be elevated in other conditions affecting bones, blood cells, or liver.
