Article Synopsis
- Diagnosis of insulinoma can be evaluated effectively using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin secretion (HOMA-B) based on data from a 72-hour fasting test.
- In a study of 104 patients, HOMA-B values were significantly higher in those with insulinoma compared to those without, indicating its potential as a reliable diagnostic marker.
- Results showed HOMA-B had an impressive sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing insulinoma, suggesting it may serve as a comparable or even superior alternative to existing guidelines from various endocrine societies.
