Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by prostate cells. The PSA test is done to help diagnose and follow prostate cancer in men.
Reasons for a PSA test:
| Reference Range* | Interpretation | ||
| 0-04 ng/ml | Normal | ||
| 04- 10ng/ml | Border line | ||
| >10ng/ml | High | ||
*Reference ranges are provided as general guidance only. To interpret test results use the reference range in the laboratory report.
Avoid ejaculation for 24 hours before sample collection as it has been associated with elevated PSA levels; the sample should also be collected prior to your health practitioner performing a digital rectal exam (DRE) and prior to (or several weeks after) a prostate biopsy.
