Sterling Accuris offers a Serotonin Test in Navsari to check for active or residual carcinoid tumour. Serotonin levels also help in evaluating serotonin syndrome caused by serious drug reactions.
Overview of the Serotonin Test
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in nerve impulse transmission, blood vessel constriction, sleep-wake cycle, and mood regulation. Increase in levels of serotonin as well as its metabolite- 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid, can be detected in the blood and urine. Carcinoid tumours slow-growing neuroendocrine tumours mainly found in the digestive tract and lungs can produce excessive serotonin. Serotonin levels also increase as a result of certain medication combinations. On the other hand, serotonin deficiency can occur in the body if the body does not produce enough serotonin or serotonin does not act well. Serotonin depletion in the body can result in various psychological problems.
The Serotonin test can provide important clues about elevated or decreased levels of serotonin in the blood which is helpful for clinicians in planning treatment. Book a Serotonin test near you to detect elevated serotonin (due to carcinoid tumours) or serotonin deficiency.
