PSA (prostate specific antigen) is a blood marker commonly used to help assess prostate health in men. It suits men who want to monitor this marker, for example as part of a wider men's health check, alongside advice from a GP for any symptoms.
1 biomarker as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
PSA (prostate specific antigen) is a protein produced by the prostate gland. It is commonly used as one marker to help assess prostate health, alongside a GP's assessment of any symptoms, rather than as a stand-alone answer.
Against the eight comparable PSA tests we track, Blue Horizon's £89.25 is the most expensive, sitting well above the £59.00 median (51% higher) and above every named peer, from Check My Body Health's £14.99 self-test up to Better2Know's £75 home kit. This drives a low value-for-money score.
It scores strongly on collection convenience, with a choice of an at-home finger-prick, a clinic visit or a nurse home visit, and results back within 3 days. The listing is clear on the biomarker, turnaround and collection options, and results are reviewed by a doctor. Blue Horizon Medicals works with UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs and has traded since 2009.
This suits men who want the flexibility of an at-home finger-prick or a nurse home visit alongside doctor review, and for whom price is not the deciding factor. If cost is the priority, Randox Health offers a PSA test from £33, and Medichecks and Forth price theirs at £45 to £49.
Anyone with symptoms that concern them should speak to a GP rather than relying on a self-arranged blood test alone.
You can collect your sample at home with a finger-prick, or by venous draw at a clinic or with a nurse home visit. The sample is analysed for total PSA, with results back within 3 days and reviewed by a doctor before you see them.
This PSA blood test can be done at home with a finger-prick, at a clinic or with a nurse home visit, with results back within 3 days and reviewed by a doctor. At £89.25 it is the most expensive of the eight PSA tests we compare it against, running from £14.99 at Check My Body Health up to £75 at Better2Know. The wide collection choice comes at a price premium.
