Finger-prick blood test Results in 10 minutes Test at home Shows if the level of PSA is higher than normal >87% agreement with laboratory tests Assembled in the UK Professional customer care The SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test is a simple way for men to find out whether the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in your blood is elevated. Although PSA is regarded as a marker for prostate cancer, a high PSA level is more likely to be due to other problems such as prostatitis, an enlarged prostate or a urine infection. Before you decide to have a PSA test, it is important to be aware that about 3 in 4 men with a raised PSA level will not have cancer and around 1 in 7 men with a normal PSA level will have prostate cancer. Nevertheless, if you have an elevated result, you are encouraged to speak with your doctor. See the pros and cons of PSA testing below. The SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test (PSA Test), is an easy to use finger prick blood spot home test that detects raised levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) associated with abnormalities of the prostate gland. Health issues related to the prostate gland become more common as men get older. To use your SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test, you will need to use one of the single-use finger prickers supplied to obtain a blood sample, and apply to the lateral flow test cassette. One line on the test cassette results window means a negative result, and two lines means a positive result.

Better to know We want you to be aware that no biomarker, even when checked by your hospital lab, is 100% perfect at diagnosing a specific medical condition. Because of this, a false positive result may cause unnecessary worry and further investigations, whilst a false negative result may give you peace of mind, when actually there may be an underlying condition that requires treatment. Rather than purchasing a self-test kit, you may wish to speak with your NHS GP first, who can arrange for tests if needed. Make sure that you have considered what a result will mean to you before deciding to test. At SELFCHECK, you can also speak with our health check experts if you need help to use your test or interpret your results.
