A member asked:
What does it mean if my metanephrines are low and 5-hiaa is high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A test for carcinoid: The 5-hiaa level is a test for the carcinoid tumor. You need to discuss this issue with the doctor who ordered the test. Carcinoid is a slow growing neuroendocrine tumor that often originates in the appendix or other areas of the GI tract.
