Rheumatoid factor interference in the determination of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9).
BACKGROUND Investigation of a 61-year-old Caucasian male suffering from fatigue and weight loss led to the finding of a carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) concentration of 80 kU/L using an ADVIA Centaur analyser. Determination of CA 19-9 on Vidas, AxSYM and Architect i2000 systems gave normal results. His rheumatoid factor concentration was very high (900 kIU/L) and assay interference was susp...
متن کاملAssociation between carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and body mass index in colorectal cancer patients
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) have been well recognized as tumor markers for colorectal cancer. Previous studies suggested that obesity is inversely associated with the screening of CEA and CA19-9 levels and may reduce screening sensitivity. This study was conducted to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) with serum CEA and CA19-9 concentrati...
متن کاملThe clinical significance of preoperative serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 in colorectal cancer
PURPOSE Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) are the most frequently used tumor markers in the clinical setting of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study was designed to investigate the correlation between preoperative serum levels of CA 19-9 (pre-CA 19-9) and the clinicopathologic factors of patients with CRC. METHODS A study was performed on 333 patients with ...
متن کاملCarbohydrate Antigen 19-9-Positive Gastric Adenocarcinoma: Autopsy Findings and Review of the Literature
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is a well-known tumor marker for pancreatobiliary cancer, and several studies have shown that an elevated serum CA19-9 level is associated with more aggressive biological behavior in gastric cancer (GC). However, the clinicopathological characteristics of CA19-9-positive GC remain unclear. We herein report an autopsy case of CA19-9-positive GC in an 84-year-ol...
متن کاملMirrizi Syndrome and Markedly Elevated Levels of Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 in the Absence of Malignant Disease
Elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) beyond 1000 U/L occurs in nonneoplastic conditions which is causing questioning of the use of CA19-9 as a marker for screening. We report a case where a 51-year-old male with Mirrizi Syndrome (MS) presented with markedly increased CA19-9 level (4,618 U/mL). MS is a rare complication characterized by compression of the common bile or hepatic duct cause...
