In men over 40 years of age, is common for doctors performing blood tests on their patients to examine Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) levels. PSA is a protein produced by the male prostate gland. If the PSA level is above certain levels, or has shown to be getting progressively higher over a number of tests conducted over a period of time, it serves as a warning sign of either prostate cancer or other noncancerous prostatic diseases. A normal PSA level does not completely rule out the possibility of prostate cancer. Many doctors are of the opinion that any male who lives long enough will eventually develop prostate cancer, but that it may not necessarily be the cause of death. Given the somewhat vague nature of the results supplied by PSA testing, it is also necessary to consider adding a colonoscopy to the equation along with occasional digital prostate exams. The PSA test, however, is a popular diagnostic tool, since it is noninvasive in nature. Knowing normal PSA levels will assist a personal care physician in determining a patient's prostate cancer risk when other factors, such as family history are included. A PSA level of below four ng/ml (nanogram/milliliter) is often used as the basis to eliminate concern about the risk of prostate cancer, even though this level does not completely eliminate the possibility. A PSA level below four combined with a digital examination that indicates normal prostate size means that there is only a 15% chance of prostate cancer being present. This increases to 25% for PSA levels between four and 10. Anything above 10 represents an increase to 67%. Some experts in the area of PSA levels promote using lower numbers, less than 2.5 or 3.0 ng/ml to represent normal values. This is particularly applicable to younger patients who have not experienced the normal prostate gland the enlargement that accompanies advancing age. Equally important to the PSA number is the trend of that number. Is it going up, how quickly, over what period of time? These are questions doctors will consider on a patient by patient basis?
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 alt result z 111,so what we do?
prostrate
it is the PSA blood test that tests the blood for the level of PSA
no! No! Do not go to the psa blood test! It is very high! Do not go there! Im warning you!
The PSA (prostate specific antigen) test does this. PSA screening tests are for those with family history or suspected as having the potential for the disease, whereas the PSA diagnostic test is for monitoring those with prostate cancer.
A PSA test will cost as much as $500 for those that do not have insurance. This is a test that has to do with prostate cancer in men.
The full form of the PSA blood test is Prostate-Specific Antigen.
THe best place someone can go to get a PSA blood test is as their physician. In order to get a PSA blood test, the physician would typically recommend it based on certain symptoms.
The PSA test, is a test to check the prostate-specific antigen. This test is used as an early screening test to detect prostate cancer in men. All men over the age of 50 years old should have a PSA screening test yearly.

The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is a blood screen for prostate cancer.
"Someone takes a PSA test to look for signs of prostate cancer. The PSA can help identify cancer early on, when treatment is most likely effective. It can also be done by a simply available blood test."
Yes, 7.5 is high for a PSA test. I'm 50 and also had a 7.5 for my first PSA test. I ended up with T3c stage prostrate cancer. Had my prostrate removed, and the tests showed that the cancer had already spread. I am currently going through external beam radiation therapy. My oncologist gives me a 50% chance of getting it all.
