The Glucagon Test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the function of the pancreas, specifically how well it can produce glucagon. Glucagon is a hormone that plays a critical role in regulating blood glucose levels by stimulating the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing conditions related to abnormal blood sugar levels, such as diabetes and hypoglycemia, as well as assessing pancreatic tumors that produce glucagon.

To perform the test, a healthcare professional will administer an injection of glucagon to stimulate the liver’s glucose production. Blood samples are then taken at various intervals to measure the glucose levels and assess the body’s response to glucagon. The results can provide valuable insights into the patient’s metabolic health and pancreatic function.

At DNA Labs UAE, the Glucagon Test is offered for a cost of 1460 AED. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure accurate and reliable results.

GLUCAGON Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GLUCAGON test to measure the level of glucagon in the blood. Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels. This test is commonly ordered to evaluate conditions related to glucose metabolism, such as diabetes or hypoglycemia.

Test Details

The GLUCAGON test involves drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The blood sample is then sent to our laboratory for analysis. It is important to note that overnight fasting is mandatory before the test, and a duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is required.

During the test, a healthcare professional will draw 3 mL (minimum 1.5 mL) of plasma from a Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. The plasma will be separated in a plastic transport vial and immediately frozen. It is crucial to ship the sample frozen and not thawed.

The GLUCAGON test is performed using the Extraction, RIA method. The test type includes diabetes and cancer, making it useful for endocrinologists and oncologists.

Test Price and Report Delivery

The GLUCAGON test is priced at 1460.0 AED. The report will be delivered after 2-3 weeks, with the sample required to be sent by the 7th of the month.

Diagnosis and Symptoms

The GLUCAGON test can help diagnose various medical conditions related to glucose metabolism. A high level of glucagon may indicate an insulinoma, a tumor in the pancreas that produces excessive amounts of insulin. Conversely, a low level of glucagon may suggest glucagon deficiency, which can lead to hypoglycemia.

It is important to note that the GLUCAGON test is just one tool used in diagnosing and managing medical conditions related to glucose metabolism. Other tests, such as blood glucose tests and insulin tests, may also be ordered to provide a more comprehensive evaluation.

The GLUCAGON test is a medical test that measures the level of glucagon in the blood. Glucagon is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas and helps regulate blood sugar levels. This test is typically ordered to evaluate certain conditions related to glucose metabolism, such as diabetes or hypoglycemia.

During the test, a healthcare professional will draw a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The blood sample will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis. The test may require fasting for several hours before the blood sample is taken.

The results of the GLUCAGON test can help diagnose certain medical conditions. For example, a high level of glucagon may indicate an insulinoma, a tumor in the pancreas that produces excessive amounts of insulin. On the other hand, a low level of glucagon may suggest a condition called glucagon deficiency, which can lead to hypoglycemia.

It is important to note that the GLUCAGON test is just one tool used in diagnosing and managing medical conditions related to glucose metabolism. Other tests, such as blood glucose tests and insulin tests, may also be ordered in conjunction with the GLUCAGON test to provide a more comprehensive evaluation.
