Dear viewer,
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is blood test that is elevated in prostate cancer, benign prostate hypertrophy, prostate trauma, prostate infection, after prostate examination or ejaculation. Liver enzymes in blood can be elevated in many medical conditions. Some examples include viral hepatitis, medication effects, alcoholic liver damage, gallstone disease, cancer in the liver, excessive fat or iron in the liver etc. Therefore it is difficult to directly answer your question regarding relationship between elevated PSA and liver enzymes without more information.
Alkaline phosphatase is a liver enzyme that is also found in bone. Alkaline phosphatase can be elevated in liver disease and in bone diseases such as bone cancer and Paget’s disease of bone. In patients with prostate cancer that have spread to bone, both Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and Alkaline phosphatase can be elevated.
Thank you for your question!
