accumulation of edema fluid. It relaxes the circular muscle of the gut in opposition to ProstaglandinF2a,
and also relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter. Prostaglandin E2 also causes accumulation of water and
electrolytes in the lumen of the gut by stimulating their secretion. Elevated levels of Prostaglandin E2
have been detected in patients with the Watery Diarrhea Syndrome, neural crest tumors,
pheochromocytomas, and other amine-peptide-secreting tumors. Prostaglandin E2 production and
circulating levels are drastically suppressed by aspirin and indomethacin. Urine Prostaglandin E2 levels
give an integrated picture of Prostaglandin E2 production over a 24 hour minimizing the effect of diurnal
variation and episodic secretion.
Reference Values:
400-620 ng/24 hours
This test was performed using a kit that has not been cleared or approved by the FDA and is
designated as research use only. The analytic performance characteristics of this test have been
determined by Inter Science Institute. This test is not intended for diagnosis or patient management
decisions without confirmation by other medically established means.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), Post Prostatectomy
Reference Values:
Less than 0.10 ng/mL AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY.
4.0 ng/mL OR LESS IN HEALTHY MALES WITHOUT
PROSTATECTOMY.
PSA values obtained with different assay methods or kits cannot
be used interchangeably.
This test was performed using DPC IMMULITE 2000 method. PSA,
ICMA is not to be used as a diagnostic procedure without
confirmation of the diagnosis by another established product or
procedure.
The lower limit of accurate quantification for this assay is 0.01 ng/mL.
PSA va;ues less than 0.01 ng/mL can not be accurately measured
and will be reported out as “less than 0.01 ng/mL.†Specimens with
PSA levels below the lower limit of accurate quantification should
be considered as negative. In patients with a negative result for post
prostatectomy PSA, serial monitoring of PSA levels at regular
intervals, along with physical examinations and other tests, may
help to detect recurrent prostate cancer.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Diagnostic, Serum
Clinical Information: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein that is produced by the
prostate gland, the lining of the urethra, and the bulbourethral gland. Normally, very little PSA is
secreted in the blood. Increases in glandular size and tissue damage caused by benign prostatic
hypertrophy, prostatitis, or prostate cancer may increase circulating PSA levels. In patients with
