Generally 4 or less: There is no normal or abnormal level of psa in the blood but levels greater than four may correlate with prostate disease. The number should be correlated with a physical assessment by a trained clinician for best predictable value. A serum psa of 4 alone has a 40% predictive value for tumor. Tumors may exist or not exist at levels above or below 4 which makes clinical correlation important.
