Question:
PSA question after blood test?!?
MY DAD HAD A BLOOD TEST AND URINE SCREENING. IN THE RESULTS, THE PSA IS 1.03. THE REFERENCE VALUES ARE 0-4.0. WHAT IS PSA? IS MY DAD'S PSA NORMAL?
Answers:
psa is an abbrevation for prostatic specific antigen.;..used for screening in combination with a digital rectal exam to check for prostate cancer....your dad's lab results are great,no need to worry...
psa is a blood test which detects the antigen secreted by the prostate...elevations/mild are not always cancer as it can be inflammation...etc
