Ultrasensitive PSA vs. Standard PSA Readings

I had my Blood draw at UCI on Jan 7th AM. For Ultra Sensitive PSA, they sent it to ARUP Laboratories in Salt Lake City. The result 0.05 was already in Mychart this morning. My result on December 3rd from the same lab was also 0.05. On October 7 it was 0.06.
They say lowest value detected is 0.01, only 2 decimal places. Some of you posted with results less than 0.01, up to 3 decimal places.
That makes me think my result could be less than 0.05, since they don't say 0.050. It could be 0.045, but it would be reported as 0.05.
If you I am measurements freak, you are right!

Always fun to play with numbers, but I think perhaps two significant digits are sufficient for any diagnostic work. 🙂
