Male · 18 y+
0.02–3 ng/mL (varies by lab)ARUP 0.05–3 · Mayo 0.02–0.97 ng/mL

These labs do not agree for male · 18 y+: the published adult ranges differ by up to 3.1×, so the same result can read as normal at one lab and be flagged at another — ARUP 0.05–3 · Mayo 0.02–0.97 ng/mL. Both are real published values, shown as each lab states them.
