Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels can be an early warning sign of prostate enlargement, inflammation, or prostate cancer.

What is the PSA Test?

The test measures the level of PSA in a man's blood. It is a vital screening tool for men over 40-50 to monitor prostate health and detect issues early when they are most treatable.

Why get tested?

  • Annual screening for men aged 50+ (or 40+ for those with family history).
  • Difficulty in urination or frequent nighttime urination.
  • Monitoring the progress of known prostate conditions.

Clinical Interpretation Range

Age Group Normal Range (ng/mL)
40 - 49 years 0 - 2.5 ng/mL
50 - 59 years 0 - 3.5 ng/mL

Preparation

Strict Note: Avoid ejaculation and vigorous physical activity (like cycling) for 48 hours before the test, as these can falsely elevate PSA levels.
