Free PSA Price in Bangladesh

What is Free PSA?

Free PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is a type of PSA found in the bloodstream that is not bound to proteins. Measuring free PSA levels alongside total PSA helps distinguish between benign prostate conditions and prostate cancer.

A lower ratio of free PSA to total PSA (e.g., below 10%) may indicate a higher risk of prostate cancer, whereas a higher ratio (e.g., above 25%) suggests benign conditions like prostatitis or BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

The test is typically ordered for men with moderately elevated PSA levels (e.g., 4-10 ng/mL) to guide further diagnostic decisions.

Factors like age, medications, and recent procedures can influence results. Discuss findings with a healthcare provider for proper interpretation.

What to expect & how to prepare

Free PSA 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 Free PSA result rather than self-diagnosing.
