5 HIAA ( 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid) – 24 hr Urine

The 5-HIAA test measures the amount of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, a breakdown product of serotonin, in the urine collected over a 24-hour period.
Primarily used to diagnose and monitor carcinoid tumors, especially those that produce serotonin.
These tumors are most commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract or lungs.
