    What Is the {{test_name[114]}} Test?

    The free PSA test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in its unbound form in the blood. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate glands located below the kidneys and can either remain free or bind to other proteins.

    This protein assists in fertility by breaking down proteins in semen, which helps sperm move more freely. Normally, only small amounts of PSA are found in the blood, but elevated levels can occur due to prostate cancer, an enlarged prostate, prostatitis, or physical injury.

    Elevated PSA levels may also result from benign conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia or ageing. In cases where PSA levels fall between 4 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL, doctors may use the free PSA test to help determine whether a biopsy is needed.

    A low percentage of free PSA suggests a higher likelihood of cancer, while a higher percentage generally points to a non-cancerous condition, assisting in diagnosis and helping to avoid unnecessary procedures.

    {{test_name[114]}} Test Parameters

    The free PSA test focuses solely on measuring the levels of unbound PSA in the blood.

    PSA is initially produced as pro-PSA within the prostate, then undergoes conversion into active PSA as it travels through the prostate ducts into the bloodstream. While most of the PSA in the blood binds to proteins, a small fraction remains unbound—this unbound PSA is referred to as "free PSA."

    The test measures this free PSA, which is essential for assessing prostate health. When combined with total PSA measurements, it provides critical insights, especially when total PSA levels are between 4 and 10 ng/mL, a range often considered ambiguous. By calculating the ratio of free PSA to total PSA, expressed as a percentage, the test helps distinguish between prostate cancer and non-cancerous conditions, such as benign prostate enlargement or prostatitis. This test helps reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies by improving risk assessment and considers age-related changes, as the free PSA ratio tends to decrease in the presence of cancer.

    {{test_name[114]}} Test Preparation

    Before you book a Free PSA Test in Gurgaon, keep these points in mind:

    • Prerequisites You do not need to fast before having the Free PSA test.

    • Best Time for Testing The test can be done at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Take the PSA Test? The Free PSA test is recommended for men with total PSA levels in the range of 4-10 ng/mL to evaluate the risk of prostate cancer, particularly those with symptoms or a family history of prostate issues.

    • Important Notes Before Taking the Test No special preparation is necessary, but you should consult your doctor to ensure the test is right for your individual situation.

    Why Take the {{test_name[114]}} Test?

    The Free PSA test is a crucial tool for assessing prostate health, especially in cases where PSA levels are raised. It is often the first step in diagnosing prostate-related conditions, particularly when symptoms such as frequent urination, blood in the urine or semen, or pelvic/back pain are present. It may also be recommended for men over 50, those with a family history of prostate cancer, or African American men, who are at greater risk. When PSA levels are higher than expected for a man’s age, the Free PSA test helps determine whether the increase is caused by prostate cancer or a benign condition like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by analysing the free PSA values. The free-to-total PSA ratio is typically calculated in the following circumstances:

    • If repeated PSA tests show elevated levels, such as over 2 ng/mL in men with a family history, or over 3 ng/mL in men aged 50-70.

    • For younger men with slightly elevated PSA levels, especially if prostate cancer is prevalent in their family history.

    A higher free-to-total PSA ratio generally suggests BPH, which can be managed with medication or minor procedures. A lower ratio may indicate a higher risk of prostate cancer, leading to further tests, such as a biopsy.

    In conclusion, the Free PSA test is essential for calculating this ratio, reducing unnecessary biopsies, and improving the overall accuracy of prostate health assessments, helping patients and doctors take a more accurate and clear approach to care.

    • Good first experience availing the services. Easy to place a request for at home sample collection. In fact the collection was scheduled in no time, which I really appreciate because it was a RTPCR where time is of essence. The phlebotomist arrived on time despite a heavy rain. He was courteous and quite skilled. The report came on time too. The status updates were easily available. Customer care was prompt and helpful. Based on my first experience, I recommend Orange Health.

    • I found Orange Health Labs while searching for a comprehensive allergy test. They offer the best price for this test among all the online pharmacies. None of 1mg, Netmeds, PharmEasy or Max have the option of a complete allergy test (236 allergens) at Rs 5000. So this is a huge bonus for common people like me. The sample collection staff was so good at their job, I didn't even feel when the needle was inserted and when the test was done also. Super polite customer service, digital payment, deep discount on allergy tests make this a highly recommended service. I had a marvelous experience with them.
