Prostate Testing

Epididymitis Screen

Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis. The epididymis is the tube through which sperm pass. The tube is located at the back of each testicle. Epididymitis can affect both testicles, but it most often occurs on just one side.

The Epididymitis blood and urine lab test will aid in the diagnosis of epididymitis. Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Prostate Cancer Profile (Male Clients Only)

Please Note: Due to ordering restrictions on certain tests, this test can ONLY be performed on Male clients.
The Prostate Cancer Profile, which measures blood levels of certain proteins that the prostate releases into the blood, may detect cancer of the prostate gland. A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Prostate Infection Panel

Please Note: If this panel is ordered by a female, due to ordering restrictions on certain tests, the PSA test will not be included on the requisition and will not be performed.
Prostatitis is swelling and tenderness of the prostate gland. It is a common problem in men. The prostate gland is a doughnut-shaped gland located between the base of the penis and the bladder. The average prostate is about the size of a small peach. It surrounds the urethra, which is the tube through which urine and semen pass. The prostate makes the fluid that nourishes and carries sperm.

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes:
Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential: (Hematocrit; hemoglobin; mean corpuscular volume (MCV); mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH); mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC); red cell distribution width (RDW); percentage and absolute differential counts; platelet count; red cell count; white blood cell count; immature granulocytes)
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Urinalysis, Complete Profile: Color; appearance; specific gravity; pH; protein; glucose; occult blood; ketones; leukocyte esterase; nitrite; bilirubin; urobilinogen; microscopic examination of urine sediment.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Ultrasensitive (Male Clients Only)

Please Note: Due to ordering restrictions placed on certain tests, this panel can only be ordered by males.
This test is intended for use as an aid in the management of patients following surgical or medical treatment for prostate cancer. Persistent elevation of PSA following treatment or an increase in a post-treatment PSA level has been found to be indicative of recurrent or residual disease. A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Please Note: If this panel is ordered by a female, due to ordering restrictions on certain tests, the PSA test will not be included on the requisition and will not be performed.

Includes: Total Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), ultrasensitive.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) (Male Clients Only)

Please Note: Due to ordering restrictions on certain tests, this test can ONLY be performed on Male clients.
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein produced by the epithelial cells lining the prostatic ducts and acini. Normally, it is secreted into the prostatic ducts and is present only in prostate tissue, prostatic fluid, and seminal plasma. PSA is produced by normal, hyperplastic, and cancerous prostatic tissue. PSA is used as a tumor marker for the early detection of prostate cancer and in other areas of prostate disease management.1 The Prostate-Specific Antigen Best Practice Statement: 2009 Update published by the American Urologic Association1 describes the use of PSA testing for: • The evaluation of men at risk for prostate cancer • Assistance in pretreatment staging • Risk assessment posttreatment monitoring • Use as a guide in management of men who recur after primary or secondary therapy

Includes: Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Serum

PSA, Total with % Free (% free provided when total PSA is between 4 and 10) (Male Clients Only)

Please Note: Due to ordering restrictions on certain tests, this test can ONLY be performed on Male clients.
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Total with % Free, which measures blood levels of certain proteins that the prostate releases into the blood, may detect cancer of the prostate gland. A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Serum

The Sex Hormone binding Globulin test is used to evaluate the level of male hormones in men and women, also known as androgens. SHBG binds to estrogen; dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and testosterone and carries these hormones throughout your blood. Hormones that are bound are non-bioavailable and cannot be utilized by the body.

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes: Sex Hormone binding Globulin, Serum.

Testosterone (Free), Serum (Equilibrium Ultrafiltration) with Total Testosterone

Testosterone levels decrease normally with age. This may cause men to have erectile problems or to lose interest in sex. This test will determine the level of free and total testosterone.

Use of synthetic steroids, various supplements and/or high doses of biotin may interfere with the accuracy of the standard immunoassay Testosterone Total serum test. If you are taking any of these it is recommended that you order the Testosterone, Total, Women, Children, and Hypogonadal Males, LC/MS-MS for testing.

Includes:
Total Testosterone
Free Testosterone
Percent Free Testosterone

Note: If total testosterone levels are greater than the cutoff for this test (>1500), results for free testosterone and/or percent free testosterone may not be provided. If total testosterone results are expected to be >1500 it is best that the LC/MS-MS version of this test be ordered.

Testosterone, Total, Serum

Testosterone testing is used to evaluate androgen excess or deficiency related to gonadal function, adrenal function, or tumor activity. Testosterone levels may be helpful in men for the diagnosis of hypogonadism, hypopituitarism, Klinefelter syndrome, and impotence (low values). Testosterone levels may be requested in women to investigate the cause of hirsutism, anovulation, amenorrhea, virilization, masculinizing tumors of the ovary, tumors of the adrenal cortices, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (high values). Testosterone levels in children may be helpful to investigate issues related to puberty and development as well as the aforementioned.

For testosterone measurements in females or expected levels >1500, use of Testosterone, Total, Women, Children, and Hypogonadal Males, LC/MS-MS, which employs liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS-MS), is recommended.

Use of synthetic steroids, various supplements and/or high doses of biotin may interfere with the accuracy of the standard immunoassay Testosterone Total serum test. If you are taking any of these it is recommended that you order the Testosterone, Total, Women, Children, and Hypogonadal Males, LC/MS-MS for testing.

Significant deviations from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes:
Total Testosterone

Note: If total testosterone results are expected to be >1500 it is best that the Testosterone LC/MS-MS version of this test be ordered. Reporting values that exceed 1500 will now be reported as >1500 for all regions, as this standard operating procedure will now be nationwide.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA), Free:Total Ratio

Please Note: Due to ordering restrictions placed on certain tests, this test can ONLY be ordered by Male clients.
In this profile, free PSA is performed and percent free PSA is calculated, regardless of the concentration of total PSA. The interpretive guidelines provided for percent free PSA are based on a population of men with normal digital rectal exam (DRE) and total PSA between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/mL.

Includes: PSA, Free:Total Ratio
