PSA test results report the level of PSA detected in the blood. The test results are usually reported as nanograms of PSA per milligrams (ng/ml of blood. In the past, most doctors considered PSA values below 4.0 ng/mL as normal. However, recent research found prostate cancer in men with PSA levels below 4.0 ng/mL. Many doctors are now using the following ranges with some variation: * 0 to 2.5 ng/mL is low. * 2.6 to 10 ng/mL is slightly to moderately elevated. * 10 to 19.9 ng/mL is moderately elevated. * 20 ng/mL or more is significantly elevated. There is no specific normal or abnormal PSA level. The higher a man's PSA level, the more likely it is that cancer is present. But because various factors (such as age) can cause PSA levels to fluctuate, one abnormal PSA test does not necessarily indicate a need for other diagnostic tests When PSA levels continue to rise over time, other tests may be needed. It should be noted that it is common for normal PSA ranges to vary somewhat from laboratory to laboratory.
By normal standards, a PSA level below 4ng/mL is considered to be acceptable, however research has shown that a value above 2.5 or 3 ng/mL may be cause for further investigation, especially if risk factors are present.
Type your answer here... anything below 4 milligram
Some laboratories consider that the normal PSA levels are between less than 2.5 ng/mL or 3 ng/mL. Although it depends on the age and gender of a person.
PSA levels that are considered normal for men are in the range of four to nine nanograms per millimeter in blood. Anything over these numbers indicates a possibility of prostate cancer.
4 and lower
7
less than 2.1
According to the Canadian Cancer Society, a reading of 4.5 or less is normal.
A PSA level of 10 is a little high but it is still within a healthy range. A healthly PSA range is between 4 and 10. Anything lower or higher could be a problem.
If by PSA you're referring to prostate-specific antigen, a level of 3.5 would be considered within the normal range.
If your psa level is lower than 4.0 ng/mL, then you dont need to go for further testing. If it is higher than that then you should go for further testing.
PSA is just one indicator of prostate cancer. It is possible to have prostate cancer and have a normal PSA reading.
Elevated PSA levels may be an indication of prostate cancer or other prostate problems. Typically treatment would be surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy. Once the prostate problems are resolved the PSA level should decrease back to a normal level.
PSA is just one indicator of prostate health. It can be very high and a man will not necessarily have prostate cancer. One the other hand, it can be at a normal level and cancer may still be present. It is no guarantee one way or the other.
PSA levels that are considered normal for men are in the range of four to nine nanograms per millimeter in blood. Anything over these numbers indicates a possibility of prostate cancer.
it is the PSA blood test that tests the blood for the level of PSA
After getting chemotherapy treatment for your T cell lymphoma 4 months ago, your PSA level should have been really low after your prostate test. It is normal for your PSA levels to fluctuate quite a bit after treatment though.
PSA or Prostate-specific antigen is a test that measures the blood level of the PSA which is a protein in the prostate gland. There is no specific normal range. In the past the normal range has been 4.0 ng/mL and lower. Since than doctors have noted patients with levels of 4.0 and below to have cancer while patients with high levels did not.
