Conclusion: A state of chaos surrounds PSA order and interpretation. Neither patients nor physicians are aware of PSA-related outcomes. Therefore, each hospital should hold sessions on PSA testing and inform physicians about them. Furthermore, a detailed public education should be provided and ...
All O.D. values, are subtracted by the mean value of the zero standard before result interpretation. Construct the standard curve using graph paper or statistical software. 3. To determine the amount in each sample, first locate the O.D. value on the Y-axis and extend a horizontal line...
There are however several unsolved criticisms con- cerning the determination of tPSA and fPSA and the interpretation of the results for decision making on biopsy referral. First, there is not a consensus on the range of tPSA value (2.0–10.0 or 4.0–10.0 μg/L) that should trigger the ...

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS Negative: Only one colored band appears on the control (C) region. No apparent band on the test (T) region. Positive: in addition to a pink colored control (C) band, a distinct pink colored band will also appear in the test (T) region. Invalid: A total absen...
Patients testing for serum PSA levels are oftenconcomitantly submitting to other tests that require fasting, subjecting certain patients to a fasting PSA level while others not. The objective of this study was to investigate whether this discrepancy in fasting state translates into an effect on ...
Dynamic Mathematical Model (DMM) To explore the impact of fasting time on serum PSA levels through a clinical perspective, a dynamic mathematical model was developed to calculate the percentage of individuals expected to experience a change in PSA diagnostic interpretation (e.g. normal vs abnormal ...

INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS ¾ Negative: Only one colored band appears on the control region. No apparent band on the test region. ¾ Positive: In addition to a pink colored control band, a distinct pink colored band will also appear in the test region. If the test band is equal to or...
