Comprehensive Metabolic Panel 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. |

GGT Your GGT levels are normal. GGT stands for gamma-glutamyl transferase, which is an enzyme found in the liver. Research shows that GGT levels can indicate liver function and can be elevated in conditions such as liver disease, alcohol abuse, or certain medications. However, since your GGT levels are within the normal range, it suggests that your liver is functioning properly. It's recommended that you continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid excessive alcohol consumption to help keep your liver in good health. |

CEA 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. |

CA 19-9 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. |

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained abdominal pain, digestive issues, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or persistent nausea. It helps detect early warning signs of gallbladder problems including potential cancer by measuring tumor markers and liver function. Many people use this test when they have risk factors like gallstones, chronic inflammation, or a family history of gallbladder disease.
You should fast for 12 hours before your blood collection, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. This fasting period ensures accurate glucose and metabolic measurements. Results are typically available within 3 business days, though confirmation testing may extend this timeframe if needed.
This comprehensive panel measures CA 19-9 and CEA tumor markers that can be elevated in gallbladder and digestive tract cancers, helping with early detection and monitoring. The Comprehensive Metabolic Profile evaluates liver and kidney function, which can be affected by gallbladder disease, while GGT specifically assesses bile duct health and liver enzyme activity. Together, these biomarkers provide a complete picture of your gallbladder health, liver function, and potential cancer indicators.
What this means
Your CA 19-9 level is slightly elevated above the normal range. While this can indicate gallbladder or pancreatic issues, it can also be raised by benign conditions like gallstones, bile duct blockages, or inflammation. This result suggests further evaluation with imaging and consultation with a gastroenterologist may be beneficial.
Recommended actions
Schedule follow-up imaging such as ultrasound or CT scan with your doctor
Keep a symptom diary noting any abdominal pain, digestive changes, or jaundice
Avoid alcohol and maintain a low-fat, high-fiber diet to support digestive health
Retest CA 19-9 in 4-8 weeks to monitor trends and evaluate changes
