Free PSA Test in Mangaluru Overview
No special preparations needed
- Free Psa
This test measures the amount of unbound (free) prostate-specific antigen in the blood, typically used to help assess prostate cancer risk.
In men with slightly elevated total PSA, a lower percentage of free PSA may indicate a higher risk of prostate cancer, helping decide if a biopsy is needed.
It’s a blood test done alongside the total PSA to calculate the free-to-total PSA ratio.
A free PSA percentage above 25% is generally considered low risk, while below 10% may suggest higher cancer risk.
Yes, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis can influence PSA levels, so clinical context is essential.
