PSA Total Reference Range
These are the typical adult reference ranges used by major US labs. Your report will include the specific range used by the lab that processed your sample.
| Population | Range |
|---|---|
| Male, age 18–49 | 0.000 – 2.50 ng/mL |
| Male, age 50–59 | 0.000 – 3.50 ng/mL |
| Male, age 60–69 | 0.000 – 4.50 ng/mL |
| Male, age 70+ | 0.000 – 6.50 ng/mL |
Reference ranges are educational. Always interpret your result with the specific range printed on your lab report and discuss anything outside the range with a clinician.
What your PSA Total result may mean
Above 4.0 ng/mL traditionally warrants follow-up; thresholds vary with age. Many causes besides cancer (BPH, prostatitis).
Educational only — not a diagnosis. Many factors can influence a single result. Discuss anything that concerns you with a healthcare provider.
