Take a test for the free PSA index (p2psa, phi) in Kyiv, Med-Help clinic
Free PSA (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate gland in men. It is needed to liquefy sperm, facilitate sperm movement, and maintain prostate health. Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate problems: cancer, prostatitis, hyperplasia, and other diseases.
However, PSA is not a specific test and its elevated levels may be associated with various physiological conditions. To clarify the possible cause of elevated PSA levels, doctors prescribe a free PSA index (P2PSA, phi) test.
The test determines what proportion of total PSA is free (not bound to blood proteins) and what proportion is bound to proteins. Prostate cancer usually results in a decrease in free PSA levels.
In the Med-Help clinic in Kyiv, you can take a test for the free dog index (p2psa, phi). To do this, you need to give blood from a vein. The results are usually ready within 1-3 business days.
Free PSA index (p2psa, phi) analysis is an important diagnostic method in establishing the cause of elevated total PSA levels. At the Med-Help clinic in Kyiv, you can take this test, which is carried out by highly qualified specialists.
Before taking the test, you must follow some recommendations. For example, 7-10 days before the test, you should refrain from sexual activity and prostate massage, as this may affect the test results. You should also avoid physical activity and stressful situations 24 hours before giving blood.
The procedure of donating blood for analysis does not take much time and is quick and painless. After blood is collected, the results of the analysis are processed in the laboratory and within 1-3 working days you receive a doctor’s consultation and a detailed report on the results of the study.
