PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is a protein made by the prostate. This panel measures both total PSA and the free fraction, then calculates the percent free, which helps distinguish benign prostate enlargement from findings that warrant closer attention, especially when total PSA is mildly elevated.

When to Get Tested

No fasting is required. Avoid ejaculation, vigorous cycling, or prostate exams in the 48 hours before testing, as these can temporarily raise PSA. Screening frequency is a personal decision to make with your provider.

Understanding Your Results

Results post to your secure online account usually in 1–2 business days, with your total PSA, free PSA, and percent-free ratio. A higher percent free is generally reassuring, while a lower ratio with elevated total PSA may prompt further evaluation. Discuss results with a clinician, especially any that are elevated or changing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast?
No fasting is required. But avoid ejaculation, hard cycling, or a prostate exam for 48 hours beforehand, since they can raise PSA.
How is this different from a total PSA test?
It adds the free PSA and percent-free ratio, which give extra context when total PSA is borderline, often helping avoid unnecessary worry or procedures.
