  • Title: [Standardization of PSA assays].
    Author: Kuriyama M.
    Journal: Nihon Rinsho; 1998 Aug; 56(8):1998-2002. PubMed ID: 9750495.
    Abstract:
    Presence of various PSA assays and no uniform serum data have led the clinicians confuse at the evaluation of serum data. Therefore, the present status of standardization of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) assays and some attempts for obtaining the same serum data were presented. With the combination of so called Stanford reference for calibration standard and the linear regression line proposed by Japanese Urological Association, the almost same serum PSA values might be obtained. However, the characteristics of each PSA assay such as equimolar or skewed type must be taken into consideration at the use.
