Test Overview & Methodology
The PSA Total test quantifies prostate-specific antigen in serum to screen for prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostatitis. It uses highly sensitive chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay with same-day reporting.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“PSA is a valuable screening tool but must always be correlated with digital rectal examination, individual risk factors, and patient history. An elevated value does not automatically signify cancer; many benign conditions can raise the level. I advise discussing your result with your urologist or oncologist for a personalised care plan.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology (DHA Registration ID: 61713011)
Medication & Safety Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. If you experience sudden severe pelvic pain, complete inability to urinate, or blood in urine, please seek immediate emergency care.
Exclusion Criteria & Pre-Test Requirements
- Do not provide a sample within 7 days of Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) or transrectal prostate ultrasound.
- Recent ejaculation (within 48 hours) may falsely elevate PSA – defer testing if possible.
- Active urinary tract infection, acute prostatitis, or recent prostate biopsy (<6 weeks) can affect results.
- Red Flags requiring urgent urology review: PSA > 10 ng/mL, rapid PSA rise (>0.75 ng/mL/year), or family history of prostate cancer.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the PSA Total test and why is it used?
The PSA Total test measures prostate-specific antigen levels in the blood as a screening aid for prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostatitis. It helps detect prostate abnormalities early, guiding further diagnostic steps such as multiparametric MRI or biopsy when necessary. This test is a core part of routine urological health assessments for men over 40 or those with elevated risk.
2. How accurate is the PSA test and what factors can affect results?
The chemiluminescent immunoassay method achieves high sensitivity (99.9%) for detecting PSA in serum. However, false positives may occur due to prostatitis, urinary tract infection, BPH, or recent prostatic manipulation. Adhering to pre-test restrictions—avoidance of DRE, ejaculation, and acute illness within the recommended windows—ensures optimal specificity and clinical reliability. Results should always be interpreted in conjunction with clinical history and risk factors.
3. What does a high PSA level mean and what should I do next?
An elevated PSA does not automatically indicate cancer; many benign conditions cause a rise. A level above 4.0 ng/mL is considered borderline, while values >10 ng/mL warrant prompt urological evaluation. Your next steps typically include digital rectal examination, multiparametric MRI, and possibly repeat PSA with free-to-total ratio. A urologist will integrate these findings to determine whether a prostate biopsy is necessary. Do not self-diagnose or delay specialist consultation.
