I read the article published in the journal, written by Jangjoo et al, discussing the validity of urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the diagnosis for acute appendicitis (AA). The authors showed approximately 44% sensitivity and 81% specificity [1]. There are some important ...
Urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid a. Positive if more than 10 mg in 24 hours b. Seventy percent sensitivity and 100% specificity c. Avoid when performing test (bananas, avocados, chocolate, walnuts, pineapples, phenothiazines). 2. Additional biochemical tests when 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid is...
5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) is a metabolite of serotonin, a chemical/neurotransmitter that is needed by the nervous system, mainly the brain, and also needed by special cells in the lung and gastrointestinal tract. After the body uses serotonin, it is degraded in the liver and is ...

There is growing evidence to suggest the use of urinary 5-HIAA (5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid) test to help with the diagnosis of appendicitis. The aim of our study was to establish whether urinary 5-HIAA could be used as an effective diagnostic test for acute appendicitis. A prospective double...
