Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of prostate cancer include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].
Laboratory findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of prostate cancer include:
- Elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level
- Low red blood cell count
- Blood chemistry tests
- Elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
- Elevated serum creatinine
- Elevated alkaline phosphatase
- It may indicate that prostate cancer has spread to the bone
- Elevated calcium
- It may indicate that prostate cancer has spread to the bone
