Free PSA measurement to help screen for prostate cancer and monitor prostate health.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate. Elevated levels can indicate prostate problems, especially cancer. PSA testing is useful but imperfect; high PSA doesn't always mean cancer, and some cancers may go undetected. Both total and free PSA levels are important. This test measures FREE PSA; the TOTAL PSA test is available separately, or together with the ratio in the Ultimate PSA Blood Test.

IgE kU/L

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a protein associated with allergic reactions that is normally found in very small amounts in the blood. IgE functions as part of the body's immune system (its defence against 'intruders').

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) ng/mL

A protein produced by prostate cells. Elevated PSA can indicate prostate cancer, but also benign prostate enlargement, prostatitis, or recent ejaculation. PSA velocity (rate of change) and PSA density add diagnostic value.
