The normal value of total prostate-specific antigen is 0~4ng/mL, and total prostate-specific antigen 4.57ng/mL is higher than normal value, which may be caused by prostate hyperplasia, prostatitis, prostate cancer and other reasons.
1. Prostatic hyperplasia: Total prostate-specific antigen is a unique molecular marker secreted by the prostate gland. Prostatic hyperplasia, which leads to an increase in the size of the prostate gland, may cause the total prostate-specific antigen to be high.
2. Prostatitis: When prostatitis occurs, the stimulation of inflammation can lead to disorders in the arrangement of prostate basal cells, causing the normal physiological barrier of prostate epithelial cell basement membrane to be destroyed, which can lead to the situation of high prostate specific antigen.
3. Prostate cancer: when suffering from prostate cancer, the glandular ducts and vesicles in the body will be easily destroyed by cancer cells, which will cause a large amount of antigens to be released into the blood circulation, resulting in high total prostate-specific antigen.
In case of high total prostate specific antigen, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals for further examination, and actively carry out targeted treatment after clarifying the specific causes of the disease.
