could a low thyroid blood test cause a slight elevation in psa results. my last blood work came back with low thyroid reading and an increase of from 3.31 last may to 4.11 this year. my doctor has scheduled another set oft blood tests in 6 months. in the meantime he has told me that this not a present problem, and told me not to worry. I also had a digital exam on my recent visit.
