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.

GGT

Insights Insights

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

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.

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 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.

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 period ensures accurate glucose and metabolic measurements. Results are typically available within 3 business days, though confirmation testing may extend this timeframe if needed.

What's included in this test?

Ca 19-9 GGT CEA

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 happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your tumor markers and liver function tests mean for your digestive health and cancer risk. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary adjustments, follow-up imaging suggestions, or whether you should consult with a gastroenterologist or oncologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarker levels over time using our trends feature to monitor changes and treatment effectiveness.
When will I get my results?
Your results are typically available within 3 business days after your blood sample is collected. In some cases, if confirmation testing is required for any of the tumor markers or other biomarkers, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. You'll be notified as soon as your complete results are ready to review.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for people with persistent abdominal pain or digestive problems, especially in the upper right side of the abdomen. It's also valuable for those with gallstones, chronic gallbladder inflammation, a family history of gallbladder or bile duct cancer, or those experiencing unexplained weight loss and jaundice. People over 60, women, and individuals with certain ethnic backgrounds may have higher risk factors.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Key symptoms include persistent pain in the upper right abdomen, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice), unexplained nausea and vomiting, and digestive problems after eating fatty foods. Other warning signs include unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, bloating, fever, and changes in stool or urine color. If you're experiencing these symptoms, especially in combination, this test can help identify the underlying cause.
What is CA 19-9 and why does it matter?
CA 19-9 is a tumor marker protein that can be elevated in various digestive system cancers, including gallbladder, pancreatic, and bile duct cancers. While not specific to gallbladder cancer alone, elevated levels combined with symptoms and other test results help doctors assess cancer risk and monitor treatment effectiveness. It's important to note that CA 19-9 can also be elevated in non-cancerous conditions like gallstones or pancreatitis, which is why it's evaluated alongside other biomarkers.
What does high CA 19-9 mean?
Elevated CA 19-9 levels may indicate gallbladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, or other digestive system tumors, though it can also be raised in benign conditions like gallstones, bile duct blockages, or pancreatitis. High levels don't automatically mean cancer, but they warrant further investigation through imaging tests and possibly consultation with a specialist. Your doctor will interpret this result alongside your symptoms, other biomarkers, and medical history.
How can I support my gallbladder health naturally?
Maintaining a healthy weight and eating a balanced diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables can support gallbladder function and reduce disease risk. Limit saturated fats, processed foods, and rapid weight loss which can increase gallstone formation. Stay well-hydrated, exercise regularly, and include foods with healthy fats like fish, nuts, and olive oil. If you have gallstones or inflammation, avoiding fatty and fried foods can help reduce symptoms and prevent complications.

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.

* 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.
