What is PSA and Why is it Elevated?

PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Higher levels of PSA in the blood can be caused by:

  • Prostate Cancer: The most serious, but not the only, cause.
  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
  • Prostatitis (infection or inflammation of the prostate).
  • Recent Activity (sexual activity or strenuous exercise).

The NextGenUro Elevated PSA Protocol

We use an intelligent, stepwise approach to evaluate your risk before recommending a biopsy:

  1. Repeat Testing & Monitoring: Tracking PSA levels and related measures (velocity, free vs. total PSA).
  2. Clinical Assessment: A thorough physical exam and medical history review by Singh or a team member.
  3. Advanced Risk Assessment: May include specialized blood or urine markers.
  4. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI): Highly detailed imaging to identify suspicious areas, helping us avoid unnecessary biopsies.
