The Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test measures the level of PSA, a protein produced by both normal and malignant cells in the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer. This test is essential for men over 50 or those with a family history of prostate issues. Regular PSA testing can help in early detection and monitoring of prostate health, enabling timely interventions and better management of prostate-related conditions.

About This Test

Reason to Check It

"If you are a man taking testosterone replacement, most physicians recommend following PSA levels to make sure you do not have any indication of a slow growing prostate cancer. It is thought that prostate cancer cells have androgen (testosterone) receptors on them and that giving a man with prostate cancer could potentially cause the cancer cells to grow more quickly." - Dr. Alan Hopkins

Test Preparation

  • No special preparation is required before your sample collection.


Please Note: We recommend overnight fasting and an early morning blood draw for all tests, even if no special preparation is required. Remember, it is OK to drink plenty of water. Drinking water helps hydrate you and makes it easier for the phlebotomist to obtain your blood sample.
