Blood Test Result | Gleneagles Hospital
Blood Test Result
Need advise from Doctor. Female, 62 years old, non smoker.
Received a blood test result with a CEA figure at 5.2 ng/ml.
Clinic doctor suggested going to hospital for further testing.
What should I need to do? Should I look for an internal medicine specialist first or directly seek out a specialist?
Also, sometimes will feel chest pain when long hour doing housework & my stomach also no feeling well sometimes.

Answer:

Hello,

A CEA result needs to be correlated with other symptoms. It is not a specific test by itself. When there is an abnormality, the patient will need to undergo a CT scan of the abdomen and a Scope in the stomach and intestine.
