"This test is used to aid in the diagnosis of carcinoid tumors. A serotonin analysis is performed for the diagnosis of carcinoid tumors of the enterochromaffin (Kultschitzsky) cells of the small intestine. These tumor cells release large amounts of serotonin, which can produce the clinical syndrome of flushing, diarrhea, and right-sided heart failure.A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician."
