Quick answer
The Total PSA Blood Test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen in a blood sample. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland, and its level can be used as one piece of information during prostate evaluation. It is not specific to cancer, since benign prostate conditions can also raise PSA. The test is ordered by healthcare providers as part of a broader assessment and is interpreted with examination findings, history, and other results.
About this test in Altadena
Prostate-specific antigen is produced by prostate cells and helps liquefy semen. A small amount normally enters the bloodstream, and the measured level reflects the activity and size of the prostate as well as other factors. Total PSA testing provides a quantitative value that a healthcare provider can compare with reference ranges and with previous results from the same person.
The test is performed on a blood sample, and results are reported as a concentration, usually in nanograms per milliliter. Some laboratories include age-specific reference ranges, and free PSA may be added as a reflex or follow-up test when the total value is elevated. Trends over time are often more informative than a single measurement.
People may order this test when a healthcare provider recommends prostate evaluation or monitoring. It can be used for discussions about prostate health and for following a known condition. A qualified healthcare provider should interpret the result and decide whether additional testing, such as the free-to-total ratio or other evaluation, is appropriate.
