What is a Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) Test in Mumbai ?

What is Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4)?

The Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) test measures the amount of HE4 protein in the blood. HE4 is produced by some reproductive tract and other tissues. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.

What does Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) measure?

It is used as a tumor marker because levels often rise with certain ovarian cancers. The test helps detect and monitor epithelial ovarian cancer. Doctors often use HE4 together with CA-125 and risk calculators to assess a pelvic mass. It also helps track treatment response and check for cancer recurrence.

What symptoms suggest Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) may be needed?

A doctor may recommend Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) when a patient reports any symptom your doctor has identified as requiring objective laboratory investigation , including unexplained fatigue, unexplained weight change, persistent pain, fever, or abnormal bleeding. If you have these symptoms, GetVisit offers booking and home collection across Santacruz, Thane, and other parts of Mumbai.

How is Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) performed?

Collection is a routine blood draw. Using a single-use sterile needle, the phlebotomist takes a small sample from a vein in your arm; GetVisit's team in Santacruz and Thane, Mumbai then barcodes and transports it under controlled conditions to the NABL lab.

How accurate is Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4)?

Every GetVisit sample from Santacruz, Thane, and across Mumbai is processed at NABL-accredited labs that use internationally calibrated reference standards, pass external quality assessments, and maintain internal quality control at every shift. Reports are accepted by all major hospital networks, specialists, and insurance providers in India.

Are there any risks to Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4)?

There are no significant risks beyond those of a standard blood draw. For your appointment in Santacruz or Thane, Mumbai, drink 2 to 3 glasses of water beforehand and stay seated for 2 to 3 minutes afterwards, as vasovagal fainting (rare) is more likely if you are fasting, anxious, or dehydrated. Tell the phlebotomist if you have fainted during previous draws.

Did you know?

HE4 can be influenced by age, kidney function, and smoking, so clinicians interpret results with other clinical information and tests.

Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) Test Preparation in Mumbai

Medication guidance:

Tell the collection staff about any prescription medicines, supplements, or herbal products you're using, and keep taking them unless advised otherwise.

Diet and fasting:

No special diet or fasting is needed. Carry on normally; just stay hydrated and avoid alcohol the night before.

When to book:

Choose a morning slot for the most consistent results. Same-day home collection is offered throughout Mumbai, Vikhroli and Malad included.

What to carry:

Bring your doctor's prescription, a valid photo ID, and your insurance card if you're using cashless OPD. Loose sleeves make collection easier.

Why Take a Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) Test in Mumbai ?

When does a doctor order Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4)?

Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) is often included in an ovarian cancer marker panel alongside CA-125 and risk calculators. Doctors may order it for women with pelvic pain, bloating, an ovarian mass on imaging, or unexplained abdominal symptoms.

Who should get Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) done in Mumbai?

Mumbai's 21 million metropolitan population, annual monsoon flooding creating severe leptospirosis and dengue risk in Kurla, Andheri, and Ghatkopar, high corporate stress and commute burden, significant diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevalence, and a massive working population with irregular meal and sleep patterns make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential health investment for all residents. Those who benefit most from Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) include couples investigating subfertility and individuals wishing to assess their reproductive timeline. Early testing in Mumbai widens the range of available options.

What conditions can Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) help diagnose?

It helps distinguish likely benign from likely malignant masses, monitor treatment response, and detect recurrence. Abnormal results can come from ovarian cancer, some benign conditions, reduced kidney function, smoking, or age. A family history of ovarian or breast cancer can make this test more important.

What do Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) results mean?

Higher or positive results: HE4 (human epididymis protein 4) rises most commonly with epithelial ovarian and endometrial cancers, but can also be elevated in other malignancies. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.

How often should Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) be repeated?

Ovarian reserve and hormone tests are usually done once for baseline assessment and repeated if treatment plans change or after a significant interval. Semen analysis is often repeated after a few weeks to confirm findings, as results vary between samples.

What happens after Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) results are ready?

You will be notified the moment results are ready, usually the same day for routine tests. Open the report in the GetVisit app to see each value beside its reference range, share it with your doctor in a tap, or book a specialist consultation to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

For any unanswered questions, reach out to our support team via email. We will assist you as soon as possible

What level of HE4 indicates cancer?plus

HE4 is not diagnostic alone; thresholds vary by assay and menopausal status. Commonly used cutoffs are about 70 pmol/L for premenopausal women and about 140–150 pmol/L for postmenopausal women; values above these raise concern and, with CA‑125 or the ROMA score, increase the likelihood of ovarian cancer. Interpretation requires clinical context and specialist assessment.

Is HE4 human epididymis protein 4?plus

Yes, HE4 is human epididymis protein 4 (gene WFDC2). Initially identified in the epididymis, it is expressed in other tissues and serves as a circulating tumor marker, especially for ovarian cancer diagnosis and monitoring. HE4 is often combined with CA‑125 and risk algorithms; elevated levels can suggest malignancy but require clinical correlation and further testing.

What causes HE4 to be elevated?plus

HE4 (human epididymis protein 4) rises most commonly with epithelial ovarian and endometrial cancers, but can also be elevated in other malignancies. Non-cancer causes include reduced kidney function (impaired clearance), older age, and smoking; levels may also increase with some benign inflammatory or gynecologic conditions. Because renal function and age affect HE4, results are interpreted alongside clinical context and other tests.

What is the function of human epididymis protein 4?plus

Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), encoded by WFDC2, is a secreted WAP‑domain glycoprotein. It likely functions as a protease inhibitor involved in innate immunity and antimicrobial defense, and may affect tissue remodeling, cell adhesion, proliferation and motility. HE4 is often overexpressed in ovarian and some other tumors and is used clinically as a circulating biomarker to aid detection and monitoring.

Can I take my diabetes medication before Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4)?plus

If you take insulin or diabetes tablets and are fasting for Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4), ask your doctor whether to delay the dose until after the sample is collected, to avoid a low-sugar episode.

Can menstruation affect Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4) results?plus

Some tests, such as iron studies and certain hormone panels, can be influenced by your menstrual cycle. If you are on your period, mention it so your doctor can judge whether timing matters for Human Epididymal Protein 4 (HE4).
