Prostate health is essential for the well -being of men, especially as they age. One of the most important analyzes to evaluate the health of the prostate is the measurement of the specific prostate antigen (APE), also known as PSA). This blood marker is a key indicator in the early detection of prostate cancer, as well as in monitoring other prostate conditions, such as benign prostate hyperplasia (HPB) and prostatitis.
APR is a protein produced by the prostate gland, whose main function is liquefy the semen. High levels of Blood APE can be indicative of problems in the prostate, although they are not always synonymous with cancer. An APA analysis allows doctors to evaluate the need to perform additional tests, such as a rectal digital exam or a prostate biopsy, to determine the cause of the increase in the levels of this antigen.
APR analysis is a simple test that is performed through a blood test. Generally, men over 50 are recommended to perform this test annually as part of their routine medical check -up. However, depending on individual risk factors, such as family history or genetic predisposition, doctors may recommend starting with these tests at an earlier age.
