How much PSA value will prostatitis increase? Is it possible to rise above 10?

Hello! The normal value of PSA is less than 4 μ g/ml. Two benign diseases, prostatic hypertrophy and prostatitis, will lead to the increase of PSA, and the concentration is usually between 4- 10 ug/ml.

If the PSA concentration is greater than 10 ug/ml, the chance of prostate cancer will increase, and further rectal ultrasound should be done to support the diagnosis.

If PSA is greater than 40 ug/ml, advanced prostate cancer may occur. If the PSA concentration increases after prostate cancer treatment, it may indicate local recurrence or distant spread. However, PSA missed 3 cases13 of cancer cases with important clinical significance, and it is necessary to cooperate with rectal digital examination and rectal ultrasound examination to reduce the misdiagnosis rate.
