Vista Prostate Health Assessment

PSA blood test

You will be sent an at-home pinprick blood test kit to test for levels of a protein called PSA (prostate-specific antigen). Once complete, you can pop the kit in the post to our lab where your PSA levels will be analysed. PSA is present in all men and, with age, levels naturally increase. However, higher than normal levels for your age can indicate a problem with your prostate, such as an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer or an infection (prostatitis), or a problem with your urinary system, namely a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Clinically-designed essential blood panel

You will be sent an at-home pinprick blood test kit to detect signs of infection, inflammation and other health issues. This clinically designed blood test will include testing for the protein HbA1C to check for prediabetes and diabetes alongside testing for your kidney, liver and thyroid function. Your cholesterol and iron levels will also be checked.

Prostate MRI Scan

An MRI scan is a non-invasive, safe and painless imaging technology. It does not use any radiation and instead uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of your body. A prostate MRI scan is, therefore, used to help identify an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer and its spread, prostatitis, abscesses, inflammation and other abnormalities.

Follow-up doctor's consultation

After your tests, you will receive a full report of your results and have a 15-minute virtual follow-up appointment with one of our expert doctors to discuss your results. They will provide personalised recommendations based on your findings, so you can better understand your health and make informed decisions about any next steps.
