How to Use the PSA Calculator

This guide will walk you through the steps to use the PSA Calculator effectively, ensuring that you input the correct data and understand the results it provides.

Step 1: Enter Your Age

Begin by entering your age in the input field labeled “Age (years)”. Make sure your age is between 40 and 120 years, as this is the valid range required by the calculator. This field is mandatory.

Step 2: Input Your PSA Level

Next, input your PSA Level in the field labeled “PSA Level (ng/mL)”. Ensure that the PSA level you enter is within the range of 0 to 100 ng/mL. The calculator allows precision in increments of 0.1 ng/mL. This field is also mandatory.

Step 3: Select Your Ethnicity

Choose your ethnicity from the dropdown labeled “Ethnicity”. The options available are:

  • Caucasian
  • African American
  • Asian

Each selection impacts the calculation, so select the option that best describes your ethnicity. This field is mandatory.

Step 4: Indicate Family History of Prostate Cancer

Select whether you have a family history of prostate cancer from the dropdown labeled “Family History of Prostate Cancer”. The options are:

  • No
  • Yes

This selection will influence the final calculations. This field is mandatory.

Step 5: Review Your Results

After entering all the required information, the PSA Calculator will automatically calculate and display the results in several fields:

  • Age-Adjusted PSA: This is the PSA level adjusted for your age, formatted to two decimal places with the suffix ‘ng/mL’.
  • Adjusted PSA Risk Score: This score considers your age-adjusted PSA, ethnicity, and family history, presented with two decimal places and the suffix ‘ng/mL’.
  • Risk Level: This field categorizes your risk as either ‘Low Risk’, ‘Intermediate Risk’, ‘High Risk’, or ‘Very High Risk’ based on the adjusted PSA risk score.

Review these results carefully to understand your PSA level and associated risk factors comprehensively.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can utilize the PSA Calculator effectively to monitor your prostate health. Ensure all data inputs are accurate to receive precise results, and consult with a healthcare provider if needed for further interpretation.
