Chromogranin A (CgA) is a protein released by neuroendocrine cells. A test for chromogranin A measures the amount of CgA in the blood. The test is most commonly used in the diagnosis or monitoring of neuroendocrine tumors.
May I ask why the Chromogranin A test was ordered for you?

The test was ordered for my husband because of his symptoms of carcinoid syndrome. He just tested once yearly.
