What do raised prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels mean?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 64 years old. I am nondiabetic. I did a complete health checkup and found my Hb1Ac at 6.5 %. I have a CRP of 3.50 mg/dL. I have PSA at 4.4 ng/mL. My urine culture report shows a negative result. Is there anything abnormal? Please suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The most concerning result is about your blood sugar levels.

It seems that you can have diabetes. Please consult an endocrinologist for a proper evaluation. Your HbA1c is high, and your blood sugar levels are also high. Avoid taking sugars in the diet and do physical activity regularly.

PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is very commonly high in this age group. It alarms you to have a regular follow-up visit with your urologist. It is good to check your prostate soon. Your C-reactive protein levels are also high. It can happen due to any specific inflammation.

I hope that this answers your query.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
