Prostate blood test
It is important to understand that a PSA test alone cannot definitively diagnose or exclude the presence of prostate cancer. If your PSA levels are elevated, further investigations with a specialist, such as a Urologist, are necessary to determine the underlying cause. On the other hand, even if your PSA levels are low and you experience symptoms related to the prostate, it is still crucial to consult a healthcare professional who can consider additional investigations and guide you through the appropriate next steps.
The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It plays a significant role in reproductive health, as it produces a fluid that mixes with sperm to create semen. Prostate-related issues are quite common, particularly as men age, and undiagnosed conditions can lead to more serious complications, including prostate cancer. By undergoing the Prostate Profile, you are taking a proactive step towards monitoring and maintaining the health of this important gland.

Biomarkers (3)
Total Prostate Specific Antigen
Total Prostate Specific Antigen refers to the overall amount of PSA being produced by the cells in the prostate gland. This test is widely used to detect and monitor the treatment response of prostate cancer. Elevated levels of PSA may indicate the presence of prostate cancer or other prostate-related disorders, but it is important to note that further diagnostic procedures are necessary for a definitive diagnosis.
Measuring the albumin level can give valuable insights into your overall health and identify any underlying conditions that may need further evaluation or treatment. This test is usually performed as part of a routine check-up or if you are experiencing symptoms like swelling, fatigue, or unexplained weight loss.
Free Prostrate Specific Antigen
Free Prostate Specific Antigen represents the portion of PSA that circulates freely in the bloodstream, unbound to other proteins. It is also produced by the cells in the prostate gland. Measuring the levels of free PSA alongside total PSA can provide additional information for detecting and monitoring prostate cancer. The ratio between free PSA and total PSA can be used as an indicator to assess the risk of prostate cancer, but it should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical factors.
Total PSA Ratio
Total PSA Ratio is a calculated value that expresses the proportion of free PSA relative to the total amount of PSA in the body. This ratio is derived by dividing the level of free PSA by the total PSA level. It is used as a supplementary tool to aid in the detection and monitoring of prostate cancer. Healthcare professionals consider the free-to-total PSA ratio along with other factors, such as age, family history, and digital rectal examination (DRE), to better evaluate the risk of prostate cancer and make informed decisions regarding further diagnostic procedures.
