Hello. Thank you for writing today.
We don't interpret test results, this should be discussed with your doctor. I can give you some general information about PSA testing. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by cells of the prostate gland in men. A man may have a PSA blood test measuring the level of PSA in a man’s blood with the results reported as nanograms of PSA per milliliter (ng/ml) of blood. Generally, a normal PSA level is considered to be between 1.0 and 4.0 ng/ml. If the number is above 4.0, the level is considered abnormal or elevated. There can be other reasons for this, besides cancer.
