How to read your result
Your report should be read using the reference interval, unit and method shown by the performing laboratory.

Clinical interpretation depends on symptoms, history and other findings.
If a result is outside the range
If the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) - Total is reported as high, low, positive, negative or otherwise outside the laboratory's stated interval, the meaning depends on the specific test and the reason it was ordered. Your clinician may consider repeat testing, related investigations or other clinical information before deciding what the result means.
