Measures PSA, a protein produced by the prostate, commonly used to assess prostate health. Suited to those in a higher-risk group by age, ethnicity or family history.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
PSA (prostate specific antigen) is a protein produced by the prostate gland. This test is commonly used to assess prostate health, particularly for people over 50, those over 45 of black ethnicity, or with a strong family history of prostate cancer. A raised PSA level is not conclusive on its own; it's a marker that can prompt further investigation, usually by a GP or urologist.
Among the eight comparable PSA tests we track, this one is mid-to-low priced at £45. It costs more than Randox Health's PSA test (£33) and Check My Body Health's Prostate Health Self-Test (£14.99), but less than the Randox Health PSA Quickdraw Test Kit (£46), Forth's PSA Test (£49), Selph's PSA Blood Test (£59), Thriva's PSA test (£65), Better2Know's Prostate Specific Antigen Home Test Kit (£75) and Bluecrest Wellness's Prostate Cancer (PSA) test (£85). All measure the same single marker.
The test scores well for collection convenience, since it can be done at home with a finger-prick sample, at a clinic, with a venous draw, or via a home nurse visit, and results are back within two days. Value for money is solid given the price sits below the group median, though it is not the cheapest option available. As with a single-marker test in this group, clinical depth is judged on doing what it sets out to do rather than on breadth. The same trust factors that apply across Medichecks' range, its Trustpilot rating, accredited labs and included doctor's comment, support this test's score too.
This suits you if you fall into a higher PSA-risk group, such as being over 50, over 45 and of black ethnicity, or having a strong family history of prostate cancer, and you want a straightforward, doctor-reviewed check without a clinic visit. The flexible collection options make it easy to fit around your schedule.
If price is your main concern, Randox Health's PSA test at £33 or Check My Body Health's Prostate Health Self-Test at £14.99 are cheaper alternatives, though you would need to check what collection method and doctor review each includes before switching.
This is a blood test. You can collect your own sample at home with a finger-prick kit, attend a Medichecks clinic for a venous draw, arrange a home nurse visit, or visit a clinic in person. Once the sample reaches the lab, it is processed by one of Medichecks' partner labs. Results are typically ready within 2 days, and every test includes a doctor's comment on your result.
£45 buys a single PSA reading here, cheaper than six of the eight comparable PSA tests we track, though Randox Health (£33) and Check My Body Health (£14.99) undercut it further. A doctor reviews your result, and the sample can be collected at home.
