LOW PSA and Low % Free PSA
by Richard__0, Jan 01, 1995 12:00AM
Posted By Richard on March 11, 1999 at 16:54:20:
An insurance company has declined my application for
life insurance based on the following lab results:
Total PSA 1.8
Free PSA .3
% Free PSA 16.7%
Everything I've read to date addresses the relationship
of a Total PSA above 4.0 and a low Free PSA %, but does not
address my situation of a LOW Total PSA and a Low Free PSA %.
I am 55 years old and in perfect health in every other area,
have no family history of PC, so should qualify for the
lowest insurance rates available.
Please help me to understand why an insurance company
might classify me as uninsurable.
Thank you.
