PSA Test Overview
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein produced by prostate gland, urethra, urethral gland. Total Prostate Specific Antigen (TPSA) Serum is a test used to measure the level of prostate-specific antigen in the blood. It is found in very low concentrations in blood. Levels increase in benign prostatic hypertrophy, prostatitis, or prostate cancer. TPSA is a valuable tool for the early diagnosis and prevention of prostate cancer in men. This is because it can indicate if any changes in the prostate may need further testing or treatment. It is also used to monitor the progression of the disease.

Most of the PSA that the prostate produces are released into this fluid, but small amounts of it are also released into the bloodstream.
