Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Insights Insights

Most of your values are within the normal range. This is a positive outcome, indicating that your overall metabolism and organ function are functioning well. However, there are a couple of findings that are worth discussing. Your Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine levels are high. Although they are only slightly elevated, it's important to monitor them closely. High BUN and Creatinine levels may suggest reduced kidney function or dehydration. I recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate management plan. It's worth noting that your EGFR, which is a measure of kidney function, is within the normal range. This is reassuring and suggests that your kidneys are still able to filter waste products effectively. Overall, it's important to remember that blood test results need to be interpreted in the context of your overall health and medical history. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide a more comprehensive analysis and guide you further based on these results.

CEA

Insights Insights

Your CEA levels are within the normal range. This is a positive result and indicates that there is no evidence of cancer or other medical conditions that could cause elevated CEA levels. It's recommended that you continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle and schedule regular check-ups with your doctor to ensure your overall health and wellbeing.

CEA levels, regardless of value, should not be interpreted as absolute evidence of the presence or absence of disease.

CA 19-9

Insights Insights

Your CA 19-9 test came back normal, which is a good sign. Research shows that this test can be used to monitor treatment response and recurrence in certain types of cancer, but in your case, there is no need for further concern regarding this particular marker.

What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing persistent digestive problems, unexplained abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, or unexplained weight loss. It helps detect early signs of colorectal and colon cancer by measuring specific tumor markers in your blood, along with comprehensive metabolic and blood cell counts. Many people use this test when they have concerning symptoms, a family history of colorectal cancer, or want proactive screening for peace of mind.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood collection, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. This fasting requirement ensures accurate glucose and metabolic measurements. Results typically take about 3 business days, though this may be extended if confirmation testing is needed.

What's included in this test?

Ca 19-9 CEA

This comprehensive panel measures CEA and CA 19-9, which are tumor markers that can be elevated in colorectal cancer. It also includes a Complete Blood Count to check for anemia that can result from internal bleeding, and a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile to assess liver and kidney function, which can be affected by cancer or digestive issues. Together, these measurements provide important screening data to identify potential concerns early and guide next steps for diagnosis or monitoring.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your tumor markers and other blood values mean for your digestive health and cancer risk. These notes include personalized recommendations such as dietary changes, when to follow up with a gastroenterologist, or whether further diagnostic testing like a colonoscopy may be needed. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarker levels over time using our trends feature to monitor any changes.
When will I get my results?
You can expect your results within approximately 3 business days after your blood is collected. In some cases, if confirmation or additional testing is required, the turnaround time may be slightly extended. You'll be notified as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is valuable for anyone over 45, especially those with a family history of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or polyps. It's also important if you're experiencing warning signs like persistent abdominal discomfort, rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, or changes in bowel movements. People with risk factors such as obesity, smoking, heavy alcohol use, or a diet high in red meat should also consider regular screening.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common warning signs include persistent changes in bowel habits like diarrhea or constipation, blood in your stool or rectal bleeding, ongoing abdominal cramps or pain, and unexplained weight loss. Other symptoms that warrant testing include persistent fatigue, feeling like your bowel doesn't empty completely, and narrow or ribbon-like stools. If you experience any of these symptoms, especially if they last more than a few weeks, this screening can help identify potential issues.
What do elevated tumor markers like CEA mean?
Elevated CEA or CA 19-9 levels can indicate the presence of colorectal cancer, but they can also be elevated due to non-cancerous conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, or even smoking. These markers are not definitive for cancer diagnosis on their own, which is why your doctor will consider them alongside your symptoms, medical history, and may recommend follow-up tests like colonoscopy or imaging. They're most useful for monitoring known cancer or detecting early warning signs.
How can I reduce my risk of colorectal cancer?
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle significantly reduces colorectal cancer risk. Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting red and processed meats. Stay physically active with at least 30 minutes of exercise most days, maintain a healthy weight, and limit alcohol consumption. Avoid smoking, and if you're over 45 or have risk factors, follow recommended screening guidelines. Regular screening is one of the most effective ways to prevent colorectal cancer by catching polyps before they become cancerous.
What happens if my results are abnormal?
If your tumor markers are elevated or other values are outside normal ranges, your doctor will typically recommend follow-up testing to investigate further. This may include a colonoscopy, which is the gold standard for diagnosing colorectal cancer and can remove polyps during the procedure. Additional imaging tests like CT scans may also be ordered. Remember that abnormal results don't automatically mean cancer—many conditions can affect these markers, and early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes.
How often should I get screened for colorectal cancer?
For average-risk adults, colorectal cancer screening should begin at age 45 and continue regularly. If using blood-based tumor marker tests, annual testing may be appropriate, though colonoscopy every 10 years remains the gold standard. If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or other risk factors, your doctor may recommend more frequent screening starting at an earlier age. Those with concerning symptoms should be tested immediately regardless of age or last screening date.

What this means

Your CEA level is slightly elevated above the normal range. While this doesn't automatically indicate cancer, elevated CEA can be a warning sign that warrants further investigation, especially if you have symptoms or risk factors. CEA can also be elevated due to smoking, inflammatory bowel conditions, or liver issues.

Recommended actions

Follow up with your doctor to discuss colonoscopy or imaging tests

Avoid smoking, as it can elevate CEA levels independent of cancer

Maintain a diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables while limiting red meat

Consider retesting in 3-6 months to monitor trends if initial workup is clear

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
