Acid phosphatase is mainly distributed in the prostate, liver, spleen, milk, red blood cells, platelets, and bones. The prostate contains the highest amount.
Serum 2.2-10.5U/L.
Increased: Prostate cancer, especially with metastasis, can significantly increase serum acid phosphatase. Paget's disease of bone, primary bone tumors, hyperthyroidism, leukemia, breast cancer, myocardial infarction, hepatitis, cirrhosis, cholecystitis, hemolytic diseases, and acute urinary retention can also increase acid phosphatase activity. Additionally, prostate biopsy, cystoscopy, and rectal examination can increase acid phosphatase activity.
Before the test:
(1) Do not eat overly greasy, high-protein foods, or drink large amounts of alcohol the day before the blood draw. Alcohol in the blood can directly affect test results.
(2) Fast for 12 hours starting from 8 PM the day before the physical examination to avoid affecting the test results.
(3) Relax during the blood draw to avoid vasoconstriction caused by fear, which can make blood collection difficult.
After the test:
(1) Press the needle site for 3-5 minutes to stop bleeding. Note: Do not rub to avoid subcutaneous hematoma.
(2) Press for a sufficient amount of time. Coagulation time varies among individuals; some may need a longer time to clot. Stopping pressure too soon may cause blood to seep under the skin, causing bruising. Press longer to ensure complete hemostasis. If there is a tendency to bleed, press even longer.
(3) If you experience symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, or weakness after the blood draw, lie down immediately and drink a small amount of sugar water. Wait until the symptoms subside before continuing with the physical examination.
(4) If bruising occurs at the site, apply a warm towel after 24 hours to promote absorption.
