A member asked:
Elevated liver enzymes. cea was 5.0, slightly elevated. abdominal mri was normal as was ultrasound. amylase also elevated. cea is now normal. can this fluctuate and not be significant. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, any Lab test Can fluctuate, and any abnormal test must be taken into context of the critical situation in which they are drawn. If you are concerned about your CEA level, you should discuss your concerns with your family physician. Good luck.
