The PSA Total Test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood, helping to screen for prostate cancer, monitor existing conditions, and evaluate treatment effectiveness.

Avoid vigorous activities and sexual activity for 48 hours before the test. Inform your doctor about any medications you are taking. No fasting is required.

Elevated PSA levels may suggest prostate inflammation, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or prostate cancer. Further tests may be required for a definitive diagnosis.

Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected.

Discuss the results with your healthcare provider to determine the next steps, which may include additional tests or a referral to a specialist for further evaluation.

If you miss a sample, it is crucial to contact the hospital for guidance. You may need to start the collection period again to ensure accurate results.

Most medications can be taken as usual, but it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are using.

It’s essential to collect all urine during the 24-hour period. If you experience a spill or loss, contact the hospital to determine the best course of action.

Results are typically available within 1 to 3 days after the sample is submitted to the laboratory. Your healthcare provider will review the results with you and discuss any necessary follow-up steps.
