Overview of the 5-HIAA Blood Test
The 5-HIAA Blood Test measures the level of 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid (5-HIAA), a breakdown product of serotonin. Serotonin is an important chemical messenger involved in multiple bodily functions, including mood regulation, digestion and various neuroendocrine processes.
This is a single-biomarker test designed to assess 5-HIAA levels in the blood. It may be requested as part of a wider investigation into serotonin metabolism or when additional information about neuroendocrine activity is required.
Individuals may choose this test as part of a specialist hormone or neuroendocrine assessment, to monitor previously identified abnormalities, or to obtain private laboratory information for discussion with a healthcare professional.
Laboratory findings should always be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, medications, lifestyle factors and other relevant clinical information.
What Does the 5-HIAA Check?
5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid - is the primary breakdown product of serotonin. Measuring 5-HIAA can provide information about serotonin metabolism and may contribute to a broader assessment of neuroendocrine and biochemical activity within the body.

Understanding Your Results
