⚠️Total PSA
4.6 ng/mLJust above the 4.0 cutoff. PSA above this number is common in older men and has many possible causes — BPH, recent activity, infection, medications. A clinician weighs the trend and context, not a single number.

0.7 ng/mLThe absolute number is usually interpreted as a ratio against total PSA, not in isolation.

What LabTestly helps you understand
Read your result with calm context
- See your PSA result and reference range
- Read total PSA and free PSA together when both are present
- Ask follow-up questions about your value
- Compare PSA against previous tests over time
Example questions you can ask after uploading
- “What does my PSA result mean?”
- “Is my PSA inside or outside the lab’s reference range?”
- “What should I ask my clinician about PSA?”
- “Should this result be compared with previous PSA tests?”
Note about PSA screening
PSA screening recommendations vary across major guidelines (USPSTF, ACS, AUA). Whether and how often to test depends on age, family history, symptoms, and personal preference. PSA is one input in a conversation with a clinician — not a diagnostic test on its own.

PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is a protein made by the prostate. The total PSA blood level is used as one input in prostate screening discussions — it is not a diagnostic test on its own.
No — and we won’t suggest a diagnosis. PSA can be discussed with a clinician in the context of age, symptoms, medications, and prior PSA results.
Many reasons — prostate enlargement, recent activity, infection or inflammation, certain medications. A clinician weighs these alongside trend and symptoms.
Yes. The dashboard charts each new PSA value alongside previous results so trends are easy to read.
No. LabTestly is an educational tool that explains what blood test values mean in plain language. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We always encourage you to discuss your results with your doctor — every interpretation includes that reminder.
We accept PDFs, JPEGs, PNGs, and WebP files up to 10 MB. This covers printed lab reports, scanned documents, photos taken on your phone, and screenshots from patient portals like MyChart or Quest Diagnostics. If your lab sends a PDF by email, you can upload that directly.
Our AI is trained on medical literature and uses established clinical reference ranges. Interpretations are carefully worded to be educational and accurate. That said, lab values can be affected by many factors — time of day, recent meals, medications — which is why we always encourage a conversation with your doctor for full context.
Privacy First: Your Data, Your Control
- Files are Temporary: Within seconds of analysis, your original PDF is permanently purged from our servers.

We cover most standard blood panels including Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP), Lipid Panel, Thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4), Vitamin D and B12, Iron studies, HbA1c, and more. If you upload a panel we don't recognize, we'll tell you.
Absolutely. Every interpretation can be downloaded as a PDF or shared via a secure, expiring link. Many of our users bring their LabTestly summary to appointments as a conversation starter. It's designed to complement — not replace — the doctor-patient relationship.
The free plan includes 1 lab report per month. For most people that is enough if they only test occasionally and just want to understand their results in plain language.
