Overview
Laboratory Findings
- A blood serum glucagon concentration of 1000 pg/mL or greater is indicative of glucagonoma (the normal range is 50-200 pg/mL).
- Blood tests may also reveal abnormally low concentrations of amino acids, zinc, and essential fatty acids, which are thought to play a role in the development of NME.
- A CBC can uncover anemia, which is an abnormally low level of hemoglobin.
