The main objective of a prostate-specific antigen test is to screen for prostate cancer or if you have any prostate-related conditions, such as infections, and if your prostate is enlarged.
FAQs
What happens if PSA is high?
If your PSA levels are high, this may mean that you have prostate cancer or a prostate condition that is not cancer. Other possibilities for this scenario are that you have an infection (prostatitis) or an enlarged prostate.
Variables that can affect the rise of your PSA levels include the following recently:
- Infection
- Prostatitis/inflammation of the prostate
- Prostate biopsy
- Cystoscopy
- Vigorous rectal examination
- Ejaculation forty-eight hours before the sample is drawn
What is normal PSA by age?
By age, the normal PSA range is classified like this:
- Aged 40s-50s: 0-2.5 ng/ml
- Aged 50-60s: 2.5-3.5 ng/ml
- Aged 60s-80s: 3.5ngl/ml to 5.5
The PSA average range is between 1.0-1.5 ng/ml.
What level of PSA indicates cancer?
The level of PSA that indicates possible prostate cancer is a PSA level within 4-10. If the level of PSA is more than 10, then the likelihood of prostate cancer is above 50%.
What is the difference between free PSA and total PSA?
Free PSA and total PSA are different. The total PSA level encompasses the free and bound PSA in the blood. On the other hand, free PSA is PSA that is not attached to other proteins.
What does a positive PSA test mean?
A high and elevated PSA level in the blood may indicate prostate cancer or another condition in the prostate.
