Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of glucagonoma include a serum glucagon concentration of 1000 pg/ml or greater.[1][2]
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of glucagonoma include:[1][2]
- 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 necrolytic migratory erythema.
- A CBC to diagnose anemia.
