The Serotonin Test is a blood test used to measure the level of serotonin, a chemical messenger that regulates gut activity, mood, and vascular function. Abnormally high serotonin levels may indicate neuroendocrine tumours, particularly carcinoid tumours that release excess serotonin into the bloodstream.
At healthcare nt sickcare in Pune, this test is advised when evaluating unexplained flushing, chronic diarrhoea, or suspected neuroendocrine disorders. Blood samples can be collected through our Home Collection Facility across Pune or via Direct Walk-in Facility, following standard laboratory protocols.
