Acid Phosphatase Price in Bangladesh

What is Acid Phosphatase?

Acid Phosphatase is an enzyme found in various tissues, including the prostate, liver, bone, and red blood cells. The test measures the level of acid phosphatase in the blood or other body fluids.

It is primarily used to diagnose prostate cancer, as elevated levels can indicate prostate disease or bone disorders. It may also be used in the context of bone disease, Paget's disease, or osteomalacia.

A blood sample is collected, and the test involves minimal risk, with results influenced by factors like age, sex, and certain medications. Elevated levels may indicate disease or tissue damage.

What to expect & how to prepare

Acid Phosphatase is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Acid Phosphatase result rather than self-diagnosing.
