Understanding a PSA result

Hi

i have recently had a blood test for PSA  and can see that my levels are as they are on my record recently uploaded 

0.569 ug/L

is this a cause for concern as it was slightly higher than my previous result of 

0.431 ug/L

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    PSA results do fluctuate from time to time in small degrees, and doctors are more interested in trends over time, or when a PSA result might double in values.

    It is a negligible change, so I wouldn't be concerned. We would always suggest discussing concerns with your doctor. They are best placed to place it in an overall context to your health situation.

    Hope this helps,

    Best wishes,
