Objective: Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) for early diagnosis of prostate problems in patients attending Nuestra Señora de Lucia Clinic, in the Department of Tarija, in the first quarter of 2024.
Material and Methods: This is a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study, with non-probabilistic sampling, with a total of 72 participants attending Nuestra Señora de Lucia Clinic in the department of Tarija. PSA determination was performed using the IFI method.
Results: A total of 72 samples from male patients were analyzed for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) determination. It was found that 89% of the samples were within the normal range (up to 4 ng/ml), while 4% had moderately elevated levels (between 4 and 10 ng/ml) and 7% had elevated levels (greater than 10 ng/ml). Regarding age distribution, it was observed that the most attended group was in the 50 to 60 years range, representing 40% of the sample. This was followed by patients aged 60 years or older, with 39%, and those under 50 years old, with 21%.
