Acceptable levels are between 0- 35 U/mL,
Serum CA125 level in 39 (67.2%) out of 58 cases ranged from 36.7 U/mL to 1485.6 U/mL (mean 498.3 U/mL), being higher than normal (< 35 U/mL). Serum CA125 level of metastatic bladder cancer patients was 324.5 U/mL, significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.001). Serum CA125 level of 10 patients after transurethral resection operation was significantly lower than that before operation (P < 0.05). Serum CA125 level of 16 patients who refused further treatment significantly increased from 450.4 U/mL, to 505.8 U/mL (P = 0.041) 3 months after discharge from the hospital. Serum CA125 level of 17 patients significantly decreased from 475.8 U/L to 237.9 U/mL (P < 0.001) after bilateral iliac-arterial embolism treatment.
below 35 is what I'm reading on other websites
14
YES
do i need to fast for a ca 125 test
It all depends the normal ranges of the lab where you had the test done. At the hospital where I work at the normal range is anything below 38.6 U/mL. Make sure to check the normal ranges of the lab where you had the test done as it varies widely from lab to lab.

An elevated serum CA 125 test is nonspecific. It is only of clinical use in comparing one level to a previous level in certain conditions. It can't be used for screening or diagnosis. If you had a CA 125 level drawn, talk with your health care provider to understand the reason that this test was ordered.
To get results from a CA-125 blood test, it may take several weeks. This depends on the doctor, what lab they use and what the results are or what the symptoms are and the urgency.
Blood levels of CA 125 are used primarily to monitor the treatment of ovarian cancer. A falling CA 125 level usually indicates that cancer is responding to the treatment.
20-40 is considered normal
what are the normal levels of Na ,K. Ch. ,Ca, Mag, in normal adult male and female
75% of persons with ovarian cancer shed CA-125 into the blood and have elevated serum levels. This figure includes approximately 50% of persons with Stage I disease and 90% with Stage II or higher
Blood levels of CA 125 are used primarily to monitor the treatment of ovarian cancer. A falling CA 125 level usually indicates that cancer is responding to the treatment.
Although produced by a number of cell types, CA 125 is primarily produced by ovarian cancer cells. Eighty percent of women with ovarian cancer have increased CA 125 levels.
