Recent data has redefined the way that urologists look at PSA, and what is considered a normal PSA. Age-adjusted PSA values take into account that a 40-year-old should not have the same PSA as an 80-year-old. Accepted age-adjusted PSA rates are below 2.4 ng/ml for men under the age of 50 and 6.5 ng/ml for patients in their 70s. Other limits have been defined for varying age ranges, but there is not universal agreement about the accuracy of the age-adjusted levels.
PSA, which stands for Prostate-Specific Aantigen, is a protein produced by the prostate gland. It is present in the blood of all men at low levels, but PSA levels often rise, sometimes dramatically, in the presence of prostate cancer.(Keith Brofsky/Photodisc/Getty Images).or men under 50, healthy PSA levels will usually range between .3 and 2.5 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), with an average of 1.2. In the presence of cancer, PSA levels can rise to up to 160 ng/mL. Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images. Men From 50 to 60.
