What Are PSA and Urology Blood Tests?

At The Day Clinic in Cambridge, we offer a comprehensive range of blood tests designed to support urological health assessment, diagnosis, and monitoring.

Blood tests play a vital role in identifying underlying conditions that affect the urinary system, kidneys, prostate, and reproductive health.

One key investigation we provide is the PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test, which helps detect potential prostate issues, including prostate enlargement, prostatitis, or prostate cancer. Alongside PSA testing, we offer kidney function tests, testosterone level checks, and other hormone and infection screening relevant to male urology.

These tests are simple, quick, and performed by our skilled clinical team in a discreet, professional environment. Results are typically available within 24-48 hours, helping inform accurate diagnoses and personalised treatment plans.

Common urology-related blood tests include:

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
Kidney function (Urea, Creatinine, eGFR)
Testosterone and hormone levels
Full blood count (FBC)
Infection markers (CRP, ESR)

Your Private Consultation at The Day Clinic

Before proceeding with blood tests at our Cambridge medical centre, all patients benefit from a detailed consultation with a urologist or healthcare professional. This ensures the right tests are chosen based on your symptoms, history, and concerns.

During your consultation, our clinician will review your medical history, discuss current urological issues such as urinary symptoms, prostate concerns, or hormonal health, and outline which blood tests would provide the most valuable insights. For PSA testing, we ensure patients understand the purpose, benefits, and limitations of this diagnostic tool, including the possibility of false positives or the need for further investigations such as MRI or biopsy.

Our team takes the time to answer all your questions and provide clear, tailored advice. Following the consultation, we arrange blood sample collection promptly, ensuring your experience is efficient and seamless from start to finish.

What to Expect During Your Blood Test

At The Day Clinic, blood sample collection is carried out by experienced phlebotomists or clinicians in a calm, hygienic setting.

You’ll be made comfortable before a small amount of blood is drawn from a vein in your arm, usually taking no longer than 5-10 minutes. For most urology-related tests, including PSA, fasting is not required, although some tests might have specific preparation instructions which will be explained during your consultation.

Once collected, your sample is sent to a trusted, accredited laboratory. Results are typically returned within 24-48 hours, depending on the specific tests conducted.

Our priority is to ensure a quick, smooth process with minimal discomfort. You’ll be contacted promptly once your results are available, and a follow-up appointment may be arranged to discuss findings in detail.

Aftercare & Understanding Your Results with Next Steps

There is generally no recovery time required following blood tests at The Day Clinic, Cambridge, and you may return to normal activities immediately. Any minor bruising at the puncture site usually resolves within a day or two.

Once your results are processed, they will be reviewed by your consultant. A detailed explanation will be provided, along with guidance on any necessary next steps such as further investigations, treatment options, or monitoring schedules.

For PSA tests specifically, your result will be interpreted within the context of your age, medical history, and prostate health. If elevated PSA levels are detected, our urologists will discuss the implications and whether further assessment – such as a prostate MRI or biopsy – is recommended.

Our team is committed to ensuring clarity, reassurance, and a patient-centred approach in delivering results and follow-up care.

  I am full of praise for Mr Abood, his team and his clinic. It is a friendly, welcoming environment with ample (and free!) parking. The staff are caring and empathetic, the procedure was straightforward and I felt as though my wellbeing was prioritised at all times. I cannot recommend them highly enough and would definitely return. The care I received before, during and after the procedure was excellent, and it was an overall positive experience.

  Yesterday, I attended the Day Clinic for the removal of several moles/lesions. I cannot speak highly enough of the treatment I received and the outstanding way in which it was delivered.
This is my second visit to Mr Abood's Clinic, so there was no apprehension nor doubt that the experience would again exceed expectation.
I found Mr Abood to be highly skilled and knowledgeable, personable and caring. I felt instantly at ease in his care and had absolute confidence in his professionalism and expertise.
A special mention to Rachael too, who was equally welcoming, attentive and very kind.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Abood and his superlative Team.
With grateful thanks
Deborah Daniel.

  The website of Mr Abood promises an individual and bespoke approach to care, and this is exactly what was delivered; from contacting Justine initially and then having the procedure with Mr Abood.  I cannot recommend highly enough the professionalism, assurance and personalised care that Mr Abood and his Team provide.
