    What is Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) - Free Test?

    The free PSA test is a blood test that measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) present in the free/unbound state in your blood. This protein is produced by the prostate glands below the kidneys and can be free or bound to other proteins.

    PSA plays a role in reproductive health by breaking down larger proteins in semen, reducing its thickness and aiding in sperm movement to improve fertility. Under normal conditions, there is a trace amount of this protein present in the blood. However, certain conditions like prostate cancer, an enlarged prostate, inflammation (prostatitis), or even physical trauma can increase PSA levels.

    Elevated PSA levels can result from benign conditions like an enlarged prostate or ageing. To distinguish between cancer and non-cancerous issues, doctors may measure free PSA levels in men with PSA between 4 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL to decide if a biopsy is needed.

    Analysing free PSA percentage helps assess prostate cancer risk. A lower percentage suggests higher cancer risk, while a higher percentage indicates a benign condition, guiding diagnosis and reducing unnecessary procedures.

    Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) - Free Test Parameters

    The free PSA test measures only one parameter: Free PSA protein levels in the blood.

    PSA initially exists as a form called pro-PSA inside the prostate. Once produced, pro-PSA travels through prostate tissue and enters the prostate ducts, where it is converted to active PSA. This active PSA then enters the blood. In the blood, most of the PSA binds to certain proteins, but a small amount remains unbound—this is known as "free PSA."

    The free PSA test focuses exclusively on the unbound fraction of PSA, which plays a crucial role in evaluating prostate health. When combined with total PSA measurements, it provides valuable insights, particularly when total PSA levels fall within the "grey area" of 4 to 10 ng/mL. The test calculates the ratio of free PSA to total PSA, expressed as a percentage, helping to distinguish between prostate cancer and non-cancerous conditions, such as an enlarged prostate or prostatitis. This test helps reduce unnecessary biopsies by better assessing risk and accounts for age-related changes, as the free PSA ratio usually decreases with malignancy.

    Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) - Free Test Preparation

    Before scheduling a PSA Free Test in Bangalore, you need to be aware of these important guidelines:

    Prerequisites

    You do not have to fast before undergoing the PSA Free test.

    Best Time to Get Tested

    This test can be scheduled at any time of day.

    Who Should Get the PSA Test?

    The Free PSA test is recommended for men with elevated total PSA levels (4-10 ng/mL) to assess prostate cancer risk, especially those with symptoms or a family history of prostate issues.

    Cautions Before Taking the PSA Test

    You need not do any special preparation before the Free PSA test. However, consult your doctor before undergoing the test to ensure it is appropriate for your situation.

    Why Take the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) - Free Test?

    The free PSA test helps assess prostate health, especially with elevated PSA levels. It is often the first step in diagnosing prostate issues, particularly with symptoms like frequent urination, blood in urine or semen, or pelvic/back pain. It may also be recommended for men over 50, those with a family history of prostate cancer, or African American men, who are at higher risk.

    When PSA levels are higher than expected for your age, a free PSA test can help determine whether the increase is caused by prostate cancer or by a non-cancerous condition like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by using this free PSA values.

    The free-to-total PSA ratio is typically calculated in certain situations:

    • If repeated PSA tests show high levels, such as over 2 ng/mL for men with a family history or over 3 ng/mL for men aged 50-70.

    • For men of the younger age group who have a slightly higher PSA level especially when prostate cancer is running in their family's medical history.

    A higher ratio of free-to-total PSA usually indicates BPH, which can be managed with medication or minor procedures. A lower ratio may suggest a higher chance of prostate cancer, which could lead to further testing, like a biopsy.

    In summary, the free PSA test helps calculate this ratio, reducing the need for unnecessary biopsies and improving the accuracy of prostate health assessments, giving both patients and doctors a clearer approach for care.
