[|Human|] I have an elevated PSA for the first time and follows taking allopurional to help control my uric acid levels.  I am asymptomatic for gout, but have had calcium oxylate kidney stones.  The allopurinol was prescribed as a prophylacti for kidney stone formation.  Could the elevated PSA level be a result of taking allopurinol?
[|AI|]  Hi, I went through your query. PSA or prostate specific antigen as the name suggests is raised in diseases of the prostate. Common causes are benign hyperplasia of prostate, prostatitis, prostate cancer. Allopurinol is not usually known to cause elevated PSA levels. However, the test often gives false positive results. So I would advise you to repeat the test and undergo a transrectal ultrasound accordingly. Hope this helps.
