This PSA Calculator is a calculator to get an overall impression of how the PSA concentration from one laboratory or method compares to other laboratory or method.
Stands for the PSA blood test "Prostate Specific Antigen". A GP or specialist may apply for this blood test (check for prostate cancer, necessity biopsy, treatment effect, possible metastasis).
In the Netherlands at least 7 different methods are used in order to determine PSA, and the differences in measurement values can be up to more than 30%.
With PSA, the calculator may include the PSA concentrations of 29 different institutes are compared with each other, including the Santeon laboratories and most university hospitals.
The conversion factors are set only once in May 2015 and may change over time and after methodology changes. In addition, there are patient-specific factors which can be method-dependent influence the PSA concentration. ASolutions and the Catharina Hospital can therefore in no way bear responsibility regarding the interpretation and validity of the converted concentrations.
