Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) is a neurotransmitter produced in excess by carcinoid tumors, which develop from enterochromaffin cells. 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) is the primary urinary metabolite of serotonin, making measurement of 5-HIAA useful in the diagnosis and management of carcinoid tumors. Here we describe a simple, inexpensive, and fast method for the detection and quantification of 5-HIAA in urine. Samples are prepared by simple 1:1 dilution. The instrumental analysis is performed by chromatographic separation on a reverse-phase analytical column followed by detection using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization in positive ion mode. Data are acquired by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.
