Neuron-specific enolase 38 ng/mL suggests elevation. Neuron-specific enolase is an enolase involved in the glycolytic pathway and is widely found in neural and neuroendocrine tissues. Normal values for neuron-specific enolase in human serum range from 15.7 to 17.0 ng/mL, and 38 ng/mL is above the normal range. Elevated neuron-specific enolase can be seen in various tumors of neuroendocrine tissue origin, such as small-cell lung cancer, neuroblastoma, etc. It can also be seen in medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland, pheochromocytoma, metastatic seminal cell carcinoma, melanoma, pancreatic endocrine tumors, inflammation, infection and other diseases. If neuron-specific enolase 38ng/mL is found, please follow the doctor’s instructions to improve the relevant examination and treatment.
