Can Pancreatitis Cause PSA To Go Up And Down?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... My husband had a pancreatitis last October of unknown origin (he does not drink), a severe one with over 3000 lipasa. He also has had for the last few years a PSA somewhat high. A biopsy in 2007 (at 5.95) was negative. Since then the PSA has gone up and down, but after the pancreatitis it went up from 4.6 to almost 6 and three months later to 7.8. The doctor wants to do another biopsy. Could the pancreatitis have had an influence???

Hello,

The causes for elevated prostate specific antigen are:
1. Aging
2. Prostatitis
3. Medical procedure
4. In men age over 50 lead to BPH
5. High prostate levels in urinary tract infection
6. Ejaculation
7. Riding a bike also may elevate the PSA level.

Pancreatitis may be won't cause for elevated PSA level. Please consult your surgeon, he will examine and treat him accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
