Find Peace of Mind with Our 5-HIAA Urine Test
When unexplained symptoms like flushing, diarrhoea, or abdominal discomfort disrupt your life, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. You deserve answers, and our 5-HIAA Random Urine Test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence. Early detection of carcinoid tumours can make all the difference in your treatment journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Understanding Your 5-HIAA Test
The 5-HIAA test measures 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in your urine, which is a breakdown product of serotonin. When carcinoid tumours develop, they often produce excessive serotonin, leading to elevated 5-HIAA levels. Our advanced High Performance Liquid Chromatography method ensures precise, reliable results you can trust for making informed health decisions.
This non-invasive test requires only a random urine sample, making it convenient and comfortable while providing critical information about your health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Unexplained facial flushing or redness
- Persistent diarrhoea without clear cause
- Abdominal pain or cramping
- Wheezing or breathing difficulties
- Heart palpitations or rapid heartbeat
- Unexplained weight loss
These symptoms can be worrying, but early detection through proper testing gives you the best chance for successful treatment and peace of mind.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Finding carcinoid tumours early can significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life. The benefits of timely testing include:
