The PSA Total Test measures prostate-specific antigen levels in blood, a protein produced by prostate cells. Elevated PSA may indicate prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostatitis or inflammation. Screening with PSA helps detect prostate abnormalities early, enabling timely diagnosis and treatment. It is used to monitor prostate cancer progression and response to therapy. The test involves a simple blood sample and may require avoiding ejaculation and vigorous exercise before testing to avoid transient PSA elevation. PSA readings must be interpreted contextually, considering age, race, and clinical findings. Redcliffe Labs ensures precise PSA testing with convenient home sample collection and detailed reporting to support prostate health evaluation and disease monitoring
