What is a 5-Hydroxy Indole Acetic Acid (5-HIAA) Test in Bangalore ?
The 5-Hydroxy Indole Acetic Acid (5-HIAA) test measures the amount of serotonin breakdown product in urine. Serotonin is a chemical the body makes that affects the gut and blood vessels. High 5-HIAA levels often point to serotonin-producing neuroendocrine tumors, commonly called carcinoid tumors. Doctors use this test to help diagnose carcinoid syndrome and to monitor treatment or tumor recurrence. Results must be read with clinical symptoms and other tests. Foods and many medicines can raise levels. Your doctor will give preparation instructions to reduce false positives. Results guide further imaging or specialist referrals.
