    What is a Acid Phosphatase-Total Test?

    The Acid Phosphatase (AP) test is used in both forensic and clinical applications to detect the presence of seminal fluid or as a tumour marker for prostate cancer. AP is an enzyme found in various tissues, including the prostate, bone, liver, and blood. In the prostate, AP is present in high concentrations, which led to its use as a tumour marker for prostate cancer. Elevated serum levels of AP are traditionally associated with prostatic malignancy. AP is also present in other body fluids, such as vaginal secretions, which makes the test useful in forensic investigations. When exposed to a substrate like Alpha-Naphthyl acid phosphate, acid phosphatase breaks it down, producing a dark purple colour, visible within a minute. In addition to prostate cancer, elevated AP levels can also be seen in conditions such as bone disorders, certain liver diseases, and haemolytic anaemia, making it a useful but nonspecific marker for a range of medical conditions. If you live in Bangalore, you can easily schedule an Acid Phosphatase (AP) test without visiting a laboratory by arranging for at-home sample collection through an online medical service that provides home testing.
