insulin assay, a blood test used to diagnose insulinoma (tumor of the islets of Langerhans) and to evaluate patients with fasting hypoglycemia. It is often combined with a fasting plasma glucose test to increase its diagnostic value. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Currently, the lack of standardization of insulin assays hinders efforts to achieve consistent measures for treatment guidelines and precludes setting a specific insulin concentration above which a person is defined as insulin resistant. We determined the levels of plasma insulin by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a mouse insulin assay kit from Mercodia AB (Uppsala, Sweden). For example, if you want to run a TSH on the new system, the current vendor may be able to raise the insulin assay price high enough to make the new system less attractive, if that system does not yet have an acceptable insulin test. |
