This test measures both total PSA and the percentage of free (unbound) PSA. The ratio of free to total PSA can help distinguish between prostate cancer and benign conditions like BPH. A lower percentage of free PSA is associated with a higher probability of prostate cancer. This test is particularly useful when total PSA falls in the 'gray zone' of 4–10 ng/mL.
Total + Free PSA with calculated Free% ratio. Used when Total PSA is in the gray zone (4-10 ng/mL) to better distinguish prostate cancer from benign enlargement (BPH).
Men with a Total PSA between 4-10 ng/mL, men considering biopsy after an elevated single PSA, anyone with prior elevated PSA wanting clearer risk stratification before invasive workup.
