    PSA results jumped
    Went to Dr. yesterday and was told my PSA results jumped from an average of .5 over the last 8 years to 2.7. What should I be looking at now. Am I in any kind of danger?

    I'm confused - are you talking about a PSA or something else? (You posted in women's health.)

    Here is some very good info - Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Test - National Cancer Institute

    What did the Doctor who gave you the test results tell you?

    I believe that formerly a level of 4 ng/mL was considered normal, but some Doctors are now considering PSA to be elevated at 2.5.

    That would put you in the elevated category.

    Again, this is a question for a Physician familiar with your overall health.
