Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of prostate cancer include elevated serum prostate-specific antigen level, low red blood cell count, elevated blood urea nitrogen, elevated serum creatinine, elevated alkaline phosphatase, and elevated calcium.
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
