The ISI plasma 5-HIAA assay correlates well with the 24-hour urinary 5-HIAA assays. This test has been clinically validated for NETS patients who previously relied on the 24-hour urinary 5-HIAA. The plasma 5-HIAA saves time, alleviates the need to collect urine in a container for 24 hours, and provides equivalent clinical information.

This GCMS assay was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Inter Science Institute. It has not been cleared or approved by the FDA and such approval or clearance is not required at this time. Values obtained with different methods, different laboratories or with kits cannot be used interchangeably with the results on this report. The results cannot be interpreted as absolute evidence of the presence or absence of malignant disease.
