Overview

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of VIPoma include serum vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) levels, basal gastric acid output, potassium, bicarbonate, magnesium, and calcium levels.

Laboratory Findings

• Serum vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) levels
• Pancreatic polypeptide levels and neurotensin levels
• Low serum potassium, bicarbonate, hypomagnesaemia, and hypercalcaemia levels secondary to faecal loss
• Low basal gastric acid output
