ABSTRACT
Introduction: prostate specific antigen is considered a protein synthesis exclusively in the prostate. Determining blood levels increased early diagnosis of prostate abnormalities, and is available at the first level of medical attention.Objective: characterize the performance of prostate specific antigen from the Primary Health Care.
Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional observational research was carried out in the Basic Working Group 1 of the "Raúl Sánchez Rodríguez" Polyclinic, city of Pinar del Río in the period from January to October 2015. The universe was composed 543 patients who underwent prostate specific antigen. Medical ethics are respected.
Results: in the distribution of patients with prostate specific antigen conducted March was 12,8 % and 12,7 % in January. Within the prostate specific antigen results in patients predominated the range ‹ 4,0 ng/mL with 92,3 %. The prevailing benign prostatic hyperplasia with 3,5 % identified from prostate specific antigen.
Conclusions: a suitable performance of the prostate specific antigen was evident from the first level of medical attention. Proper and timely implementation will ensure early diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of prostate conditions.
