The PSA Free (Free Prostatic Specific Antigen) Level Test is a specialized blood test performed to measure the amount of PSA circulating in the blood that is not bound to other proteins.
PSA is a protein produced primarily by the cells of the prostate gland. It exists in two major forms in the blood: Total PSA (both free and bound) and Free PSA (unbound).
The PSA Free Test is typically ordered only when the Total PSA result falls into a diagnostic "gray zone" (e.g., between 4.0 to 10.0 ng/mL). It is used to calculate the Free-to-Total PSA Ratio, which helps physicians determine the likelihood that an elevated Total PSA level is due to benign conditions like BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) rather than Prostate Cancer.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-Accredited Lab in Delhi, including our location near Dwarka, we provide precise prostate health markers to assist in crucial clinical decision-making.
