[Levels of carcinoembryonic antigen in blood serum and in urine in employees who smoke at the "Pasamon" Industrial Works in Bygdoszcz].

CEA levels in serum and urine determined in healthy persons who were heavy smokers. We examined 215 workers of the "PASAMON" Industrial Works (186 women and 29 men). The level of CEA in serum was elevated in 19% of healthy workers smoking 10 or more cigarettes daily. In 10% of female smokers the CEA level in urine was increased. In the age-matched group of non-smokers neither in serum nor in urine any increase in levels of CEA was observed. In diagnosis, prognosis and follow up of patients with neoplasms an increased level of CEA in serum of heavy smokers should be taken into consideration.

[Levels of carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha fetoproteins in urine of of workers at the Bydgoszcz industrial works "Pasamon"].

A group of 215 healthy workers of the Bydgoszcz Industrial Works "Pasamon", aged 19-61 years, was examined. Normal values of CEA and AFP in urine were determined using the RIA method. They were 0-42 ng/ml and 0-9 UI/ml, respectively. The increase of CEA was often observed in patients with the urinary tract infections. The cytological examination of urine sediment and determination of CEA level may, in some cases, indicate the difference between the urinary tract infections and urothelial carcinomas.
