What Causes PSA Level Of 4.3?

I am 58 and in what I thought perfect health. Just had my annual physical on 7/25. Everything good but PSA is 4.3. Prior history-- 2010- .78, 2011- .80, 2012- 1.63, 2013 .99 The DRE (7/25) was negative. No family history (big family) My MD is referring me to a urologist. I am scared of the big jump.

PSA means prostate specific antigen but it is highly non specific it is not diagnostic of carcinoma prostate . So no need to be panic it could be simple prostatitis or just benign prostatic hypertrophy. you may get your lower abdomen ultra sonography by a good radiologist and if there is anything wrong chances are very few though ; then you may consult a urologist.
