Acid Phosphatase-Only Total Test

The Acid Phosphatase (ACP) Only Total test is a blood test that measures the levels of acid phosphatase enzyme in the bloodstream. Acid phosphatase is an enzyme present in various tissues, with higher concentrations found in the prostate gland, red blood cells, and bone. The ACP Only Total test is primarily used to evaluate prostate health and diagnose conditions affecting the prostate gland, such as prostate cancer. Elevated levels of acid phosphatase in the blood may indicate prostate-related issues, and this test can help differentiate between benign prostatic conditions and prostate cancer.
