C-peptide Measurement
Definition 1
The determination of the amount of C-peptide present in a sample. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
A measurement of the C (connecting) peptide of insulin in a biological specimen. (NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)
Definition 3
A test used to help diagnose a type of pancreatic tumor called an insulinoma. After fasting, the patient receives an injection of insulin and the level of C-peptide (a substance released with insulin by the pancreas) in the blood is measured. In patients who have an insulinoma, the level of C-peptide is higher than normal. (NCI Dictionary)
