Péptido C de insulina - Resultados

Nombres alternativos

Péptido C

Valores normales:

De 0.5 a 2.0 ng/mL (nanogramos por mililitro).

Los rangos de los valores normales pueden variar ligeramente entre diferentes laboratorios. La persona debe hablar con el médico acerca del significado de los resultados específicos de su examen.

Significado de los resultados anormales:

Los valores del péptido C se interpretan con base en el nivel de glucemia, dado que el péptido C es una señal de que el cuerpo está produciendo insulina. Los valores bajos (o la ausencia de péptido C de insulina) indican que el páncreas no está produciendo o está produciendo poca insulina.
