Prostate Cancer Blood Test Results
What this is mean? Please help me to understand?
I am a 31 years male. Doc found blood in my urine in dipstick test. But in microscopic UA there was no blood. This is what doc did
1. Asked me to go to rest room and pee. Added some jelly like substance on my belly and did some ULTRA SOUND like test and told me that “you have nicely empty your bladder”
2, Did a DRE and told me “your prostate looks good”
3. Then took blood for Kidney and PSA test. Within 20 mins lab gave me Kidney test result and it was normal. They said it will take some time to get PSA result ( may be days)
4. Also, doc ordered CT scan with contrast for abdomen and pelvis. I will do this next week.
Could you please explain me what above 4 tests and their result mean? I was reading prostrate cancer and i saw DRE and PSA are the test. But did not understand purpose CT scan test.
Ultrasound looked at bladder emptying, which was fine.
Blood tests suggest your prostate is normal (along with exam/DRE) and kidney function is normal
CT is likely to rule out kidney stones (common source of blood in urine).
Having a dipstick show “blood” but then none evident on micro exam can mean there is hemoglobin spilling in your urine for sa variety of reasons or could mean lab error or just a transient episode of blood in urine that resolved between dipstick and micro. Would suggest if nothing shows up on CT, that the micro and dipstick be repeated and if still not in sync, get referral to a primary doc to work this up further.
Blessings
