What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained digestive problems like persistent abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, jaundice, or changes in stool color. It helps detect early signs of pancreatic issues by measuring key enzymes and tumor markers that can indicate inflammation, dysfunction, or potential cancer. Many people use this test when they have risk factors like family history, chronic pancreatitis, or persistent digestive symptoms that need investigation.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your pancreatic enzyme levels, tumor markers, and blood counts mean for your digestive health. These notes include personalized recommendations such as dietary modifications, follow-up imaging if needed, or when to consult a gastroenterologist or oncologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarkers over time using our trends feature, which is especially helpful for monitoring chronic conditions or treatment effectiveness.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures CA 19-9, CEA, Lipase, Amylase, Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (including Chloride, Potassium, Sodium, BUN/Creatinine Ratio, ALT, AST, Alkaline Phosphatase, Bilirubin Total, Albumin/Globulin Ratio, Globulin, Albumin, Protein Total, Calcium, Carbon Dioxide, Creatinine, Urea Nitrogen BUN, Glucose, eGFR), and Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets. This comprehensive panel measures CA 19-9 and CEA tumor markers that can indicate pancreatic abnormalities, pancreatic enzymes like lipase and amylase that show how well your pancreas is functioning, and a complete metabolic profile to assess liver and kidney function. It also includes a complete blood count to evaluate overall health and detect signs of inflammation or anemia.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages other than water during this time. This fasting period ensures accurate measurements of glucose, lipase, and other metabolic markers. You can take your regular medications with water unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. Plan to have your blood drawn in the morning for convenience.

When will I get my results?

Your results are typically available within 3 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any biomarker requires additional confirmation testing, the turnaround time may be extended by a few days. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is important for people with persistent digestive symptoms like upper abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or jaundice. It's also valuable for individuals with risk factors such as family history of pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes onset after age 50, or long-term smoking history. Anyone experiencing persistent digestive issues or concerned about pancreatic health should consider this screening.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Watch for persistent upper abdominal pain that may radiate to your back, unexplained weight loss without trying, yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice), loss of appetite, or new-onset diabetes. Other signs include pale or clay-colored stools, dark urine, persistent nausea, or feeling full quickly when eating. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, especially combined with risk factors, this test can provide important insights.

How can I naturally support pancreatic health?

Support your pancreas by following a low-fat, plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting red meat and processed foods. Avoid alcohol and quit smoking, as both significantly stress the pancreas. Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise, manage blood sugar levels carefully if you have diabetes, and stay hydrated. Include anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, berries, and leafy greens in your diet.

What is CA 19-9 and why does it matter?

CA 19-9 is a tumor marker protein that can be elevated in pancreatic cancer and other digestive conditions. While not a definitive cancer test on its own, elevated levels can indicate the need for further investigation with imaging or biopsies. It's particularly useful for monitoring treatment response in people already diagnosed with pancreatic conditions and tracking disease progression over time.

What does high lipase or amylase mean?

Elevated lipase or amylase levels typically indicate pancreatic inflammation (pancreatitis) or injury, as these enzymes are released when pancreatic cells are damaged. High levels can also occur with gallstones, alcohol use, certain medications, or pancreatic duct blockages. Moderately elevated levels may suggest chronic pancreatic problems, while very high levels often indicate acute pancreatitis requiring immediate medical attention.
