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
good
<2.0 ng/mL

Note: Reference Range: Non-Smoker: <2.5 Smoker: <5.0 This test was performed using the Siemens chemiluminescent method. Values obtained from different assay methods cannot be used interchangeably. CEA levels, regardless of value, should not be interpreted as absolute evidence of the presence or absence of disease.

Ferritin

Insights Insights

Your ferritin levels are within the normal range, which is a positive result. Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in your body, and it is used as an indicator of your body's iron stores. Normal ferritin levels are important for healthy bodily functions, including the production of red blood cells. Maintaining normal ferritin levels is crucial to prevent iron deficiency or iron overload. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, causing symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating. On the other hand, iron overload can lead to organ damage and other health problems. Since your ferritin levels are normal, it suggests that your body has an appropriate amount of iron stores. However, it's important to note that a blood test only provides a snapshot of your iron status at a specific point in time. Regular monitoring of your ferritin levels is recommended to ensure they remain within the normal range. If you have any concerns about your iron levels or overall health, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can evaluate your complete medical history and provide personalized advice based on your specific circumstances.

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 concerned about head and neck cancer risk, have a family history of cancer, or are experiencing persistent symptoms like difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or unusual lumps in the neck area. It helps identify cancer markers and other health issues that may indicate early signs of head and neck cancer. Many people use this test for preventive screening or when they want comprehensive health insights beyond routine checkups.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, meaning no food or beverages except water during this time. If you're taking high-dose biotin supplements (more than 5 mg per day), wait at least eight hours after your last dose before testing. Results typically arrive within 3 business days, though additional time may be needed if confirmation testing is required.

What's included in this test?

Ferritin Ca 19-9 CEA

This comprehensive panel includes cancer markers CEA and CA 19-9 that can indicate tumor activity, a Complete Blood Count to assess overall health and detect abnormalities, a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile to evaluate kidney and liver function, and Ferritin to measure iron stores which can be affected by cancer. Together, these measurements provide a detailed picture of your health status and help identify potential warning signs that warrant further investigation.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your cancer markers and blood counts mean for your overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations on follow-up testing, lifestyle changes to support immune health, or whether you should consult with an oncologist or specialist. 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?
Your results are typically ready within 3 business days after your blood sample is collected. In some cases, if confirmation testing is needed for any markers, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. You'll be notified as soon as your results are available and can access them securely online along with your doctor notes.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for people with a family history of head and neck cancer, those with risk factors like tobacco or alcohol use, and anyone experiencing persistent symptoms such as throat pain, difficulty swallowing, or unusual lumps. It's also valuable for individuals seeking preventive cancer screening or those who want comprehensive health monitoring beyond standard annual checkups.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Consider this test if you have persistent hoarseness or voice changes, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or a lump in your neck that won't go away. Other concerning symptoms include chronic sore throat, ear pain, persistent cough, or mouth sores that don't heal. While these symptoms can have many causes, this test helps rule out or identify cancer-related concerns.
What are CEA and CA 19-9, and why do they matter?
CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) and CA 19-9 (Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9) are proteins that can be elevated in the presence of certain cancers, including head and neck cancers. While not definitive for diagnosis on their own, elevated levels can indicate the need for further investigation and are useful for monitoring cancer progression or response to treatment. Normal levels are reassuring, though they don't completely rule out cancer, which is why they're combined with other markers in this panel.
What does high CEA or CA 19-9 mean?
Elevated CEA or CA 19-9 levels may indicate the presence of cancer, but they can also be raised by non-cancerous conditions like inflammation, infection, or smoking. High levels don't automatically mean cancer, but they do warrant follow-up testing such as imaging or biopsy. Your doctor notes will help you understand your specific results and recommend appropriate next steps based on your complete health profile.
How often should I retest for cancer markers?
For general cancer screening without symptoms or risk factors, annual testing may be appropriate as part of preventive care. If you have elevated markers or are at higher risk due to family history or lifestyle factors, your doctor may recommend retesting every 3-6 months to monitor trends. If you're undergoing cancer treatment, more frequent testing helps track treatment effectiveness and detect any recurrence early.

What this means

Your CEA level is slightly elevated above the normal range. While this doesn't automatically indicate cancer, elevated CEA can be associated with inflammation, smoking, or certain health conditions and warrants follow-up with your healthcare provider. Monitoring this marker over time helps identify trends and determine if additional testing is needed.

Recommended actions

Schedule a follow-up consultation with your doctor to discuss results and determine if imaging or further testing is needed

If you smoke, consider a smoking cessation program as tobacco use can elevate CEA levels

Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids

Retest CEA in 3-6 months to monitor trends and ensure levels aren't rising

* 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.
