Elevated vasoactive intestinal peptides chromogranin & 5-hiaa. could these tests be linked? or is one incorrect. hypokalemia and dehydration.

Can be linked: Neuroendocrine tumor in the intestine can produce all these abnormalities. Such tumors may be small and non-malignant but can still cause considerable morbidity. It may require you to consult both a GI specialist and an endocrinologist to sort things out.
