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 unexplained stomach pain, persistent digestive issues, or have a family history of stomach cancer. It helps detect early warning signs of stomach cancer and other gastrointestinal problems by measuring tumor markers and comprehensive metabolic function. Many people use this test when they have ongoing stomach symptoms or want peace of mind through early detection screening.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. This fasting period ensures accurate glucose and metabolic measurements. Plan to have your blood drawn in the morning so fasting overnight is more convenient, and remember you can drink water during the fasting period.

What's included in this test?

Alpha Fetoprotein, Tumor Marker Ca 19-9 CEA

This comprehensive panel evaluates tumor markers including CEA, CA 19-9, and Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), which can indicate the presence of stomach cancer or other gastrointestinal issues. It also includes a complete metabolic profile that assesses liver function, kidney health, electrolyte balance, and glucose levels, all of which provide important context about your overall digestive and metabolic health. Together, these measurements create a thorough picture of your stomach health and help identify potential concerns early.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your tumor markers and metabolic indicators mean for your digestive health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, follow-up testing suggestions, or when to consult a gastroenterologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarker levels over time using our trends feature to monitor changes, especially important for ongoing screening.
When will I get my results?
Your results will typically be ready within 4 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any confirmation testing is required for your tumor markers or metabolic values, the turnaround time may be extended by a few additional days. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are available to view online.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is important for anyone experiencing persistent stomach pain, unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, or chronic digestive problems. It's also valuable for people with a family history of stomach cancer, those with H. pylori infection, or individuals over 50 who want proactive cancer screening. If you have risk factors like smoking, excessive alcohol use, or a history of stomach polyps, this test provides important baseline information.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent stomach pain or discomfort, unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, feeling full quickly after eating, nausea or vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. Other warning signs include blood in stool, chronic indigestion or heartburn that doesn't improve, and feeling weak or fatigued. If you're experiencing any combination of these symptoms for more than a few weeks, this screening can help identify potential causes.
How can I support my digestive health naturally?
Supporting stomach health starts with eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed meats, salty foods, and smoked foods. Reducing or eliminating smoking and excessive alcohol consumption significantly lowers stomach cancer risk. Managing stress through relaxation techniques, eating smaller frequent meals, and treating H. pylori infections if present can also protect your digestive system.
What are tumor markers and why do they matter?
Tumor markers are substances produced by cancer cells or by your body in response to cancer or certain benign conditions. CEA, CA 19-9, and AFP are proteins that can be elevated in stomach cancer and other gastrointestinal cancers, though they can also be raised in non-cancerous conditions. While not definitive on their own, elevated tumor markers combined with symptoms provide important clues that warrant further investigation and can help with early detection when treatment is most effective.
What does elevated CEA or CA 19-9 mean?
Elevated CEA or CA 19-9 levels may indicate the presence of stomach cancer or other gastrointestinal cancers, but they can also be raised by benign conditions like inflammation, infections, or liver disease. These markers are not diagnostic on their own but serve as important warning signs that require follow-up with imaging studies or endoscopy. Mildly elevated levels are often monitored over time, while significantly high levels typically prompt immediate further investigation.
How often should I get screened for stomach cancer?
If you have risk factors like family history or previous stomach polyps, annual screening is often recommended. For those with previous abnormal results or elevated tumor markers, your doctor may suggest retesting every 3-6 months to monitor trends. If you're using this test for general preventive screening without specific symptoms, testing every 1-2 years after age 50 can help with early detection, though frequency should be personalized based on your individual risk factors.

What this means

Your CEA level is slightly elevated above the normal reference range. While this can be associated with stomach cancer or other gastrointestinal conditions, it can also be raised by smoking, inflammation, or benign digestive issues. This result warrants monitoring and possibly further evaluation to determine the cause.

* 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.
