PSA density
PSA density is a measure used by doctors to assess prostate health. It is calculated by dividing the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood by the volume of your prostate. A higher PSA density can indicate a greater likelihood of prostate issues, such as cancer, especially if the PSA level is elevated but the prostate size is normal. This measurement helps doctors determine whether further tests or biopsies are necessary, providing a more accurate assessment than PSA levels alone.
