Order your Home Prostate Health Test to gain a fast indication of above the normal range levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA).

Prostate -Specific Antigen (PSA) is a blood protein secreted by your prostate gland. PSA appears in blood in higher than normal concentrations when the gland is enlarged or cancerous. Monitoring the prostate as a key biomarker is important for men over the age of 50.

Abnormal levels of Prostate Specific Antigen in your blood can be an indicator that further investigation of the prostate is required. This test uses a small sample of blood in a compact testing kit which is mailed directly to you.

The easy-to-use CE approved testing kit is mailed immediately on purchase and should reach you within 1-3 working days.

In the box, there will be full instructions provided on how to complete the sample and testing process in 5 minutes.

The prostate test to protect your health.

Prostate issues are relatively common. However, the three most popular conditions are prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer.

Where prostatitis is the issue of an inflamed prostate, BPH is a growth growing on the prostate – however, it’s prostate cancer that impacts most people as 1 in 8 men over 50 is diagnosed with the disease.

How can a Prostate Health Test help me?

Typically taken through a blood test, our prostate health check helps us analyse how much the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is in your prostate gland.

A high PSA level may be a clear indication of whether or not a man is suffering from prostate cancer.

Whenever the prostate is affected in any way, the symptoms often impact a man’s daily life. It is often that he’ll struggle to urinate, accidentally leak urine, and place unnecessary pressure on the bladder.

The body is something to protect, but you can only do that if you know you’re at your physically strongest.

The prostate antigen (PSA) is secreted by the prostate gland, which is situated in the abdomen under the bladder surrounding part of the urethra and plays an important role in semen production.

The prostate antigen level gives information about the prostate physiological condition. Levels above normal may indicate a range of conditions, including benign hypertrophy, prostatitis or cancer.

A PSA level higher than 4μIU/mL indicates a higher than normal level and the possibility of a health issue.

The test provides results based on a Positive/Higher or Negative/Normal basis. Positive results can then be used to request a secondary test or consult further medical advice.

Symptoms you might be suffering from:

Monitoring your prostate health can provide valuable early warning signs and allow quicker additional diagnostics. Common symptoms include:

  • Increased need to urinate
  • Straining while urinating
  • The feeling of a full bladder

1

Receive your test kit in the post.

2

Clean your finger and use the finger prick lancet to release blood.

3

Fill the capillary dropper with blood up to the black line.

4

Squeeze two drops of the blood into the sample area marked S on the test cassette.

5

Allow the blood to absorb and add one drop of single use buffer to the sample well.

6

Wait 5 minutes for the results to appear.

NOTE: Do not interpret before 5 minutes or after 10 minutes as the

results may be inaccurate.

The PSA Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood /Serum /Plasma) is a semi-quantitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of PSA in whole blood, serum or plasma.

The membrane is pre-coated with PSA antibodies on the test line region. During testing, the specimen reacts with the particle coated with an anti-PSA antibody.

The mixture migrates upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with anti-PSA antibodies on the membrane and generate a coloured line.

The test result is visualised on the cassette with the appearance of intensity lines:

  • Test line (T) intensity weaker than the reference line (R) indicates that the PSA level in the specimen is between 3-10ng/ml (LOW-POSITIVE)
  • Test line (T) intensity equal or close to the reference line (R) indicates that the PSA level in the specimen is approximately 10ng/ml (MEDIUM-POSITIVE).
  • Test line (T) intensity stronger than the reference line (R) indicates that the PSA level in the specimen is above 10ng/ml (HIGH-POSITIVE).
  • As a procedural control, a coloured line will always appear in the control line region (C), indicating that a proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane absorbing has occurred.

Prostate cancer represents a big problem worldwide since it can cause death in affected men, and treatment options for prostate cancer can be dangerous and really expensive.

Around 15% of men around the world suffer from prostate cancer. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is produced by prostate glandular and endothelial cells.

It is a single-chain glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximatly 34 kDa (1). The PSA level in serum of healthy men is between 0.1 ng/mL and 2.6 ng/mL.

It can be elevated in malignant conditions such as prostate cancer and in benign conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis.

A PSA level of 3 to 10ng/ml is considered to be in the “grey-zone”, and levels above 10ng/ml are highly indicative of cancer (1) Patients with PSA values between 3-10ng/ml should undergo further analysis of the prostate by biopsy.

The prostate-specific antigen test is the most valuable tool available for the diagnosis of early prostate cancer. Many studies have confirmed that the presence of PSA is the most useful and meaningful tumour marker known for prostate cancer and prostate infection of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) (2).
