Generally the fPSA/tPSA ratio is taken as the reference limit of 0.16. fPSA/tPSA ratio of 0.18, which is greater than 0.16, is a normal value, but does not exclude the possibility of benign prostate disease associated with it, such as inflammatory or proliferative diseases.
fPSA/tPSA, the ratio of free prostate-specific antigen value to total prostate-specific antigen value, is commonly used clinically to assist in identifying prostate cancer and benign lesions.
fPSA/tPSA>0.16 is normal, but the possibility of prostatitis cannot be completely excluded. fPSA/tPSA<0.16 suggests the possibility of prostate cancer, and further diagnosis needs to be combined with the value of total PSA for reference and supplemented with MRI and prostate aspiration biopsy and other tests to determine the diagnosis.
If you suffer from related benign prostate disease, you should strengthen physical exercise to improve your physical fitness; reduce sedentary and urine-holding behaviors; and eat less spicy food in your diet. If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital for further professional treatment.
