Ulta Lab Tests

Pancreastatin Test

The Pancreastatin Test measures blood levels of pancreastatin, a peptide derived from chromogranin A that regulates insulin and metabolism. Elevated levels may be associated with neuroendocrine tumors, impaired glucose tolerance, or metabolic dysfunction. This test aids in evaluating hormone secretion, monitoring tumor activity, and assessing metabolic disturbances linked to pancreatic and gastrointestinal disorders.
