Acid phosphatase (prostatic)

Acid phosphatase (prostatic)


The Acid Phosphatase (Prostatic) test measures levels of a prostate-specific enzyme released into the blood. Elevated levels may be associated with prostate disorders, including inflammation or other prostate-related concerns. This test is typically used as part of a broader assessment rather than as a standalone diagnostic test.
