@hopeful33250 i just received a 600 value and im freaking out. Doctor hasn’t said much and my endo was checking for all my hormones. I have zero symptoms and just PCOS. You said many things can cause a higher level?

Hello @emilyliz16 and welcome to Mayo Connect. Yes, a high Chromogramin level can be caused by many health conditions as well as some medications.

If you are comfortable sharing more information, were the blood tests done to address symptoms you were having? Has your doctor ordered any other tests or scans?

After my whipple surgery @ pancreas head in May 2023, my Chromograni A went down from 600+ to 400+. Then subsequently it went up to 600+ for next 2 blood tests. Eventually my endo aborted the blood test since then. Should I request for it again?
