  • Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Total — the sum of free and bound PSA
  • Free/Total PSA Ratio — the proportion of free PSA to total PSA

What the test involves

A standard blood draw is required for this test. A healthcare professional will collect a sample of your blood, typically from a vein in your arm.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians may order this test to help evaluate PSA test results. It is often used in conjunction with other clinical information.

Preparation

Follow any specific instructions provided by the laboratory for sample collection. It is important to inform your doctor about any recent prostate procedures or activities.

How results are reported

Results are typically reported within a few business days. Reference ranges for PSA levels and ratios can vary significantly between laboratories.
