Elevated CA 19-9 LEVELS
Hi I got my regular check up done. The package had a CA 19-9 ADD ON. Now my result says 40.2 U/mL for CA 19-9. Apart from this the other indicators that were off were:
FASTING GLUCOSE 109 mg/dL
LDL 138.7 mg/dl
Serum Bilirubin 0.89 mg/dl
Uric Acid 7.4 mg/dL
Eosinophils 11.2 %
AEC 0.88 10^3uL
I have never had any stomach related symptoms. I consume alcohol once a month and This was the first time I did a CA19-9 TEST. How worrisome is this? What is the best course of action now for me? Whom do I see?
