such as an elevated C-peptide level and a low β-hydroxybutyrate concentration, prompted further investigation for localization of a possible insulinoma. CT of the pancreas revealed a slight ...

A 40-year-old male patient with confirmed symptomatic insulinoma of the pancreas was referred for ... by symptoms of neuroglycopenia and high concentrations of insulin and C-peptide. Based on the ...

C-peptide is a byproduct created when insulin is produced. Measuring the amount of C-peptide in blood indicates how much insulin is being produced. Generally, high C-peptide production indicates ...

High levels of c-peptide but low blood glucose levels may be a result of insulinoma (a tumour of the pancreas) unless glucose lowering medication has influenced the result.
