Is it still practice to test males for pregnancy to get prostate indicators fot cancer?

I would prefer it to be medical people. more and more testing is being done at bedside or on a department level. all hospitals and laboratories are running into problems with people not necessarily trained or have the proper understanding that are capable of running a bench top point of care instrument.

of course any patient diagnosis is going to be very limited in discussion. I'd say its game to discuss anything but info should be guarded.
the treating Physician has the ultimate responsibility and anyone under medical care should have extensive conversation with that Physician.

the PSA is the standard for Prostate Issues.
all males over 45 should get them yearly.

some have stated that 50-55 should be the normal, but I know of several instances ( including a ArfCommer recently) whose Prostate Cancer was detected in the mid 40's.

some Prostate Cancer patients receive hormone treatments and I have seen Drs order hormone levels for one reason or another.

I would think so. The OP is pretty lab savvy. It's easy for some of us to get compartmentalized into our subspecialties and not be up to date on current recommendations/reference values.

IIRC… HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadatropin) is sometimes elevated in males who have testicular cancer, not so much for prostate.

We once had a lady who needed an epidural.  We were worried about her anticoagulantion
It was one where there was no,easy test.
I suggested a TEG
This was some years ago.  
Now  apparently there is something called a ROTEM

But apparently you have to watch it being resulted online.  
WTF?  

I don't do vascular anymore.  My world was ACTs and occasionally TEG
