About the Test

The Men’s Basic Health Profile contains important tests to identify potential health risks or medical conditions. This test includes: Complete Blood Count (CBC) Panel, Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP), Cholesterol Panel, PSA Test, Urinalysis

Our Men’s Basic Health Profile is a useful tool containing fundamental screening tests that may help identify risk or the presence of common medical conditions—including high cholesterol, heart disease, kidney or liver disease, blood disorders, prostate disease, diabetes, and other health conditions.

A CBC measures multiple components of your blood to help identify bleeding disorders or infections and to evaluate abnormal levels of specific blood components, such as low levels of red blood cells, which transport oxygen to body cells and tissues (anemia) and high levels of abnormal white blood cells that crowd out red blood cells and platelets (leukemia).

A CMP (also known as a Chem 14) is a broad screening tool that assesses 14 different substances to evaluate sugar (glucose) levels, kidney function, liver function, and electrolyte imbalance. This panel of tests is often used by healthcare professionals to detect and monitor various abnormalities, including nutrient balance, diabetes, and kidney and liver disease.

A Cholesterol Panel measures fatty substances used as energy by the body, including cholesterol and triglycerides. Abnormally high levels can build up in the blood and increase your risk for heart disease or stroke. This panel of tests measures total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides.

A urinalysis, also called a urine panel, consists of a series of tests used to evaluate visual, chemical, and microscopic features of urine. Urinalysis may be used to identify potential risks for diabetes, liver disease, and kidney disease.

Prostate-specific antigen is a protein produced in the prostate by both cancerous and non-cancerous cells. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in your blood which may be elevated due to prostate cancer. However, high levels of PSA do not always indicate the presence of prostate cancer. Other prostate conditions such as enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) or inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis) can cause an increase in PSA levels. PSA levels also increase with age. This test is for men between 55 to 69 years old, who want to monitor their prostate health. If you are over 40 years old and have certain risk factors, you may also consider this test or consult with a healthcare provider to determine if you could benefit from getting tested.

You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase. Purchases not permitted in: AK, AZ, HI.

FAQs

How can my results be affected?

Eating, drinking, or exercising before the test, certain medications, diet, dehydration, and other factors can affect the results of this test.

What can cause an elevated PSA?

There are several reasons why PSA levels may be higher than normal:

Age: As men get older, their PSA levels tend to rise.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): In some men, the prostate grows bigger and produces more PSA than usual due to its larger size
Medications: Some medications, such as finasteride and some cholesterol-lowering medications can alter your PSA level. Be sure to tell your provider about any medications you are taking before your PSA test
Prostate cancer: In a healthy prostate, PSA is secreted in small amounts into the bloodstream, but levels can increase as cancer develops
Prostatitis: Prostatitis is a painful condition in which the prostate is inflamed, swollen, and tender. It is often caused by a bacterial infection, though sometimes the cause is unknown. In some cases, an elevated PSA level may increase because of irritation of the prostate
Urinary tract infection: An infection in the urinary system can irritate the prostate and cause inflammation; this can cause the prostate to make more PSA

What are symptoms of a prostate disorder?

Any individual with a prostate gland is at risk of developing a prostate disorder. Symptoms include:

Frequent urge to urinate
Dribbling of urine
Getting up many times during the night to urinate
Blood in urine or semen
Pain or burning during urination
Painful ejaculation
Frequent pain in the lower back, pelvic or rectal area
Pain caused by touching the prostate
Change in size, firmness, or texture of the prostate
Lumps or hard areas spreading beyond the prostate

If you have any of these symptoms, you should consider consulting with a healthcare provider.

Is prostate screening right for me?

The American Cancer Society (ACS) encourages men to have a discussion with a healthcare provider about whether prostate cancer screening is appropriate for them.¹

Prostate cancer screening is not recommended by ACS for men who do not meet these criteria. The US Preventive Services Task Force² and Johns Hopkins Medicine³ recommend screening every 2 to 3 years. Speak with your primary care provider to better understand your own risk.

For those who choose to have prostate cancer screening, the ACS recommends the PSA blood test for individuals in the following risk categories:

Men 50 years of age with an average risk of developing prostate cancer and no underlying health conditions that may reduce life expectancy
Men 45 years of age with a high risk of developing prostate cancer, African American men, and those with an immediate family member who was diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 65
Men 40 years of age with a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, such as individuals who have multiple immediate family members with prostate cancer who were diagnosed at an early age
