PSA high
by: Mac on Wed, Mar 25 2009

I’m 51 years old. I have not previously done PSAs tests. I have no history of Prostatitis inflammation and no BPH symptoms. Last month I have been experiencing some symptoms: high fever and frequent/urgent need to urinate, with burning pain when urinating. I went to ER room. Urinalysis was performed to detect a urinary tract infection (UTI), it showed protein and blood in the urine; RBC and WBC in urine. I have been treated with antibiotics Cipro 500mg Bid *10day. After that I went to family doctor and repeated urinalysis test which came back normal. I requested a PSA test and it shows 9.01. I have booked appointment with urologist in April. I like to know my risk for prostate CA?
