Total PSA Blood Test

TOTAL PSA BLOOD TEST

There are two biomarkers that can be measured in PSA - the total PSA level and the free PSA level. The total PSA test measures the total amount of PSA in the blood, including both bound and unbound forms. The free PSA test measures only the unbound, or free, PSA in the blood. It is important to have both of these biomarkers measured. 

This is the test to measure TOTAL PSA. You can find the test for FREE PSA here. Or check out the Ultimate PSA Blood Test that measures both the free and the total levels of PSA.

The ratio of these two markers can be a very good indicator for your GP as to what is happening and the likelihoods of current or future issues. This is calculated by dividing Free PSA by Total PSA and multiplying by 100, giving the Free to Total PSA ratio as a percentage.
