Insulin intact [Units/volume] in Serum by LC/MS/MS
Active
Term Description
Intact insulin in serum is primarily measured for the assessment of insulin resistant syndromes and diagnosis of glycemic disorders in patients with diabetes and pre-diabetes. This assay detects only intact insulin (not fragments of insulin). For the measure of total insulin (assays that may detect intact insulin as well as fragments of insulin and proinsulin), LOINC uses "Insulin" in the Component name.
Part Description
LP266761-8 Insulin.intact
Intact insulin contains two chains (A and B) connected by disulfide bonds. Intact insulin molecules as well as fragments of insulin and proinsulin (precursor to insulin) exist in patient specimens. Measurement of intact insulin levels only is preferred since they are a direct measurement of biologically active and potentially dangerous levels instead of its inactive degraded pieces. An overdose of insulin will cause hypoglycemic symptoms and may lead to unconsciousness, seizures, and even death. PMID: 11216004 PMID: 26820765
