Free Prostate Special Antigen

Method: latex Immunoturbidimetric Method                                                          Liquid reagent, R1: R2=2:1

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The PSA in serum is called total PSA (tPSA), and about 10 15% of the PSA is about 85% of the free form of (fPSA), about 90% of which is the binding form of (cPSA). Serum total PSA is recognized as the first choice for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. However, when total PSA is in 4-10ng/mL (diagnostic gray area), it cannot distinguish benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) from prostate cancer (prostate cancer). The study found that the proportion of fPSA in gray prostate cancer patients was lower than that in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Therefore, the determination of fPSA concentration and the calculation of the ratio of fPSA to tPSA concentration can improve the diagnostic ash area. Sensitivity and specificity of prostate cancer [1 3].
