What Causes Elevated CA In The Blood Test?

During an annual exam my CA 125 came back at 60. I have the test because I was adopted and have no family history. My blood sugars were also elevatedt his year. I've had an MRI, Ultrasound, CT Scan, Lung Xray, Mammogram and colonoscopy and all are normal. What are potential causes for the elevated CA 125?

Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion it is raising suspicion over the ovarian cancer.

CA 125 or carbohydrate antigen 125 is specific for the ovarian cancer. Its value increases whenever patient has ovarian cancer.

I suspect it can be a small tumor so you have not detected in radiography.

Constant check over marker and radiography will help you for good management. For good prognosis make look over the cancer.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
