Age Specific Reference Levels of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen, Prostate Volume and Prostate Specific Antigen Density in Healthy Iranian Men
Background: It is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum PSA in Iranian population. Objective: To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in a population of he...
متن کاملPreanalytical determinants of total and free prostate-specific antigen and their ratio: blood collection and storage conditions.
glucose, calcium, chloride, and uric acid—as demonstrated by the kurtosis and skewness coefficients and by the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. The fetal reference intervals for sodium, potassium, urea nitrogen, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, uric acid, and magnesium are very close to those of infants. For glucose, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine amino-transferase, cholesterol, and triglyceride...
متن کاملProstate specific antigen staining intensity in prostatic adenocarcinoma correlates with serum prostate specific antigen , Bandar Abbas, Iran
Introduction: Prostatic adenocarcinoma is one the most common malignances and the second cause of death in males due to cancer. Prostate Specific Antigen (PZSA) serum level is the first marker to screen such patients. We aimed in this study, to assess the intensity of prostatic adenocarcinoma tissue staining with PSA staining method. Methods: In this corss-sectional study, prostatic adenocarcin...
متن کاملProstate cancer incidence, mortality, total and free prostate specific antigen.
The causes of prostate cancer (PC) and its progression are not yet known. Mortality and incidence from PC has increased throughout European countries until early 1990s. In Greece, PC is the second commonest cancer in men after lung cancer. The traditional Greek diet old in its origin may protect against common chronic diseases, including PC. Hormonal causes have been postulated in the aetiology...
متن کاملReview on the Simultaneous Determination of Total Prostate-Specific Antigen and Free Prostate-Specific Antigen
Please be advised that this information was generated on 2016-05-03 and may be subject to change. BACKGROUND. The total prostate-specific antigen (t-PSA) in serum measured by PSA assays represents the sum of free (f-PSA) and PSA complexed with al-antichymotrypsin. The f-PSA/t-PSA (F/T) ratio in prostate cancer (PCA) patients is lower than in patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia ...
