Question 2

what treatment is recommended for vipoma?

Accepted Answer

Resection: VIPomas are neuroendocrine tumors that secrete vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) autonomously.,   They originate in amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation (APUD) cells of the gastroenteropancreatic endocrine system and in adrenal or extra-adrenal neurogenic sites. Whwn defined because of the symptoms produced, surgical resection is indicated.

Question 3

can you have vipoma with no symptoms? what are the usual symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Hi. VIPomas are rare. The symptoms of chronic watery diarrhea with dehydration and flushing often prompts the evaluation. I can'r see a physician LOOKING for a VIPoma in a patient with no symptoms! So I don't want to say VIPoma without symptoms is impossible, but if that's the case, why was the VIPoma ever looked for??? Best of luck!

Question 4

one high vip blood test one normal. was told vip can fluctuate & retested when symptomatic. is this the only way they can officially diagnose vipoma?

Accepted Answer

VIPoma: Presumably you have the cardinal symptoms and signs: watery diarrhea and low K. Yes, plasma VIP should be measured during symptoms, and it should be high. If this is a VIPoma or other neuroendocrine tumor, then it becomes important to localize it. CT/MRI/somatostatin receptor imaging. Most important: go to a center that specializes in this. These are rare, and average doc doesn't see much.

(and your partner, of course.) as women pursue advanced degrees and career standing, pregnancy is routinely falling into the 30's and sometimes 40's. It's what is safe / healthy for you.
