Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) lab values measure the level of CEA protein in the blood, which can be an indicator of certain types of cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. Normal CEA levels are typically less than 5 ng/mL in non-smokers and slightly higher in smokers. Elevated CEA levels may suggest the presence of cancer or other conditions, but they are not definitive for diagnosis and require further investigation. It is important to interpret CEA levels in conjunction with clinical findings and other diagnostic tests.
lab values for n is 135,lab values for k is 3.5 to 5.5.
CEA = carcinoma embryonic antigen
Patients who are most likely to benefit from nonstandard treatments, such as bone marrow transplants, may be determined on the basis of CEA values, combined with other test results.
recording a series of lab values over a period of time to see if they change
A CEA test doesn't have a single "normal" range. The meaning of the test can only be interpreted in conjection with other lab tests, biopsies, signs, and symptoms. Talk with your health care provider about what a 1.35 CEA result means in your specific case.

In lab the values are obtained under controlled atmosphere and specific guidelines which can be maintained for long but outside the lab we cannot maintain same atmosphere.
The CEA test is ordered for patients with known cancers.
