Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Lyme disease cause elevated psa? My husband is a 65 year old man, very healthy but was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer 10 years ago and had a radical prostetectomy. Recurrance indicated via PSA 5 years later and underwent radiation. Most recent PSA indicates a rise in PSA and doctor wants to retest in a month. We are looking for other factors that might have elevated PSA. He has been treated for Lyme in the past and might have it again. Height = 6', weight = 156
Hello, Lyme disease or the treatment for lyme disease would not elevate the PSA. Unfortunately the most likely reason for an elevated PSA is recurrent prostatic cancer. Regards
