A member asked:
What is my urologist looking for in a blood test after a positive prostate biopsy, possibly wanting to check white cell count??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably PSA: Not sure what a "positive" biopsy means, unless this means one for cancer. PSA is prostate specific antigen and is a blood test to tell what level exists before treatment.
