Insulin
Material: | 1 ml serum, fasting (Stability in serum at 4°C – 8°C: 2 days) |
Methods: | Ligandenassays → Chemilumineszenz-Immunoassay (CLIA) | Reference range | 6 mU/l – 23 mU/l |
Indication | Assessment of insulin resistance by means of HOMA-index (see there), evaluation of hypoglycemia |
Please note | For the assessment of insulin concentration, blood glucose and where necessary C-peptide (hypoglycemia factitia) should be tested concurrently. On suspicion of insulinoma, an insulin concentration of ≥ 3 mU/l and a blood glucose concentration of < 55 mg/dl is considered reliably pathological. Hemolysis should be avoided as this leads to premature insulin degradation. |
