Patient's question:
My father had an ultrasound for his prostate and no issues were found, but his TPSA value is 23 and his FPSA value is 1.6. He underwent a CT scan for a thorough check of kidney stones.Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, the concentrations of TPSA and FPSA in serum are lower than 4 ng/ml. As age increases, prostate volume decreases, leading to a decline in TPSA levels in serum. Therefore, when clinical diagnostic doctors review test results, they should first consider the patient's age. Based on preliminary estimations and purchased values, they should not rule out prostate cancer and should focus on a thorough examination.Additionally, during the treatment of prostate patients, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must ensure proper digestion of vitamins, prevent gastrointestinal issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
