[|Human|] Hi----My father in law has an enlarged prostate and the DR. said his PSA was 91. I actually thought he meant 9.1, so I doubled checked with him to make sure he said 91, and he did indead say 91. I ve never heard of a high number like this. Is there a different chart that they go by for this reading? My father in law is 82 and has no symptoms to be concerned about. Looking forward to your thoughts.
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, it can go up to this range. There are some other patients also who has range of above to 100 also. There are two possibly causes of it either it is benign prostatic hypertrophy or it is carcinoma of prostate. By looking at your value of PSA it looks like carcinoma. I advise you check for biopsy of the prostate. If its better than there is no need to worry. But if its carcinoma than planned operation with or without radio therapy and chemotherapy should be done. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
