A 24-hour urine test for 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) or Serotonin measures the amount of serotonin in your body by measuring the amount of 5-HIAA in your urine
A doctor may order this test to diagnose or monitor neuroendocrine tumors, which can secrete serotonin. Carcinoid tumors, which can occur in the lungs, intestinal tract, appendix, and other tissues, can cause higher levels of 5-HIAA in your urine.

Patient Instructions:

1.Patients should not eat avocados, bananas, butternuts, cantaloupe, dates, eggplant, grapefruit, hickory nuts, honeydew melon, kiwifruit, melon, nuts, pecans, pineapple, plantains, plums, tomatoes, or walnuts, which are high in serotonin for 48 hours before and during collection.

2. Patient should discontinue medications that may elevate urine serotonin concentration including lithium, monoamine oxidase-inhibitors, methyldopa, morphine, and reserpine. Patient should also discontinue use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI; eg, PROZAC) that can lead to depletion of platelet serotonin levels and result in false-negative urine serotonin tests.

3. Patient should avoid heavy nicotine consumption during the 24-hour collection period.
