What does a high result mean?
A modest rise is exceedingly common and harmless when taking daily acid-reducing stomach medications (PPIs).
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Could my daily stomach acid medications (like omeprazole) explain this level?
- Was the 12-hour overnight fasting window strictly respected prior to draw?
- Is a follow-up assessment indicated?
Do you have a full blood test report?
