Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential of chromogranin A (CgA) as a marker for endocrine autoimmunity, noting its established role in neuroendocrine tumors.
- Increased levels of CgA were found in a significant percentage of patients with neuroendocrine tumors and various autoimmune conditions like type 1 diabetes, autoimmune gastritis, and autoimmune polyendocrinopathy.
- CgA may enhance the prediction of autoimmune gastritis when used alongside other biomarkers, and factors like age and smoking affect its serum levels.
