Rising PSA years after radical prostatectomy

I had a radical prostatectomy 1 year ago. At 6 months post surgery my PSA was <0.04. Today (same lab) the result is 0.04. I realize this is still not a cause for concern, but does it represent a true, if minor, increase? What is the margin of error in the test itself?

I would suggest the answer to that is no. There are so many little things that can effect your PSA level that I wouldn't think that less than .009 max of a change is significant. What would be more important is to see if there is a significant trend come the next one. Even then if it's that small of an increase again, I still wouldn't be too concerned.
