What is TOTAL PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (TOTAL PSA)?

The Total Prostate Specific Antigen (Total PSA) test measures the total amount of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland, in your blood. It's a common screening tool for prostate health.

Why is this test important?

Elevated PSA levels can indicate various prostate conditions, including prostate enlargement (BPH), prostatitis, or prostate cancer. It helps doctors decide if further investigation, like a biopsy, is needed.

How to Prepare

Avoid ejaculation for 24-48 hours before the test. Inform your doctor about any recent prostate procedures or medications.

It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
