What is the situation of total prostate specific antigen 6.54

Total prostate-specific antigen is a sensitive tumor marker for prostate cancer and has important guiding significance for the screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer. The total prostate-specific antigen of 6.54ug/ml is a high indicator and may be related to prostate diseases, such as prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, and prostate cancer.

1. Prostatitis: If acute prostatitis or chronic prostatitis occurs, it may lead to high total prostate-specific antigen. Sometimes the value may increase several times or even dozens of times, and symptoms such as fever and chills may also appear.

2. Prostatic hyperplasia: This is one of the reasons for the high total prostate-specific antigen. If the index is significantly elevated, it can be used as an indicator for prostate puncture biopsy. If this is the cause, the patient may also have symptoms such as increased nocturia, urge urinary incontinence, and urinary tract infection, and needs to seek medical treatment in time.

3. Prostate cancer: After developing prostate cancer, cancerous tissue will release prostate-specific antigen, so the total prostate-specific antigen will increase. However, since the total prostate-specific antigen lacks tumor specificity, it is necessary to further measure the ratio of free prostate-specific antigen to total prostate-specific antigen. If the ratio of the two is reduced, it is usually related to prostate cancer.

In addition to prostate diseases, high total prostate-specific antigen may also be caused by local irritation tests, such as prostate massage, rectal digital examination, etc. It is necessary to further improve the relevant examinations, clearly judge the physical condition, and then use appropriate methods for treatment according to the doctor's guidance.
