摘要: The biochemical investigation of carcinoid disease has relied on measurement the daily excretion 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) in urine. 1 Collection 24-h urine considerable disadvantages for patient. Inconvenience, embarrassment, strict dietary requirements and need hazardous preservatives make this test unpopular, signi® cant errors collection may be made. 5-HIAA plasma would offer a more convenient alternative. However, value measurements not been evaluated. Highperformance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods measuring have described previously, but applied to patients with psychiatric neurological disorders. 2 We describe simple, isocratic HPLC method
