When receiving a psa result what does the symbol < mean in front of your psa number thanks Paul 

  • Hi, "<" is a "less than" sign, I've only seen it in my results when I finally reached below 0.1, in that case rather than provide a full number to 3 decimal places they just list <0.1. My understanding is that's a reporting protocol, possibly to avoid people getting stressed on very minute changes.

    I hope you see that in your test as <0.1, in which case congratulations on a great result.

    Hope this helps

  • Yes a great result.

    Best wishes, David
