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 and creatinine. Some patients may have elevated concentration of serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase, which is usually suggestive of bone metastases.
Laboratory findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of prostate cancer include:[1]
- Elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level
- Low red blood cell count
- Elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
- Elevated serum creatinine
- Elevated alkaline phosphatase (indicating metastasis to bone)
- Elevated calcium (indicating metastasis to bone)
