Prostate specific Ag
Measures prostate-specific antigen levels in peritoneal (abdominal) fluid.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Elevated PSA in abdominal fluid may indicate prostate cancer spread, helping guide treatment decisions and disease monitoring.
Understanding Your Results
Normal Range
0 – 4 ug/L
Overview
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate gland. This test measures PSA levels in peritoneal fluid (fluid in the abdomen), which may be performed in advanced prostate cancer cases to assess disease spread or progression. Elevated PSA in peritoneal fluid can indicate metastatic disease. PSA testing is part of prostate cancer screening and monitoring, particularly in men with a family history or those experiencing urinary symptoms. Results should be interpreted alongside other clinical findings.
