What reason is carcinoembryonic antigen on the high side

summary

I have a friend who has hepatitis B. Recently, when she went to the hospital for examination, the doctor asked her to do a carcinoembryonic antigen test, and the results showed that his index was on the high side. After asking the doctor, I was able to understand it. Now let's share it with you.

What reason is carcinoembryonic antigen on the high side

First: according to our previous experience, if people's carcinoembryonic antigen is on the high side, the possible reason is that people's body may have a certain amount of cancer. It is suggested to check it in time.

Second, there are many reasons for high CEA. For example, if a healthy person likes smoking very much in his life, or smokes for a long time, if you look up this tumor marker, you will find that its index is on the high side, but he has not suffered from cancer at this time.

Third: when the patient has some other chronic diseases or chronic inflammation, because the body's resistance decreases, this time will also appear the phenomenon of carcinoembryonic antigen increase. So when the patient checks, don't worry too much. It doesn't have to be cancer.

matters needing attention

The increase of CEA must arouse the high attention of patients, and they should go to the hospital in time. Only after the guidance and comprehensive examination of doctors in the hospital, can they guide the root cause, suit the medicine to the case and treat in time.
