blood tests for gastroparesis
Blood tests for gastroparesis are used to measure certain markers in the blood that can indicate the presence of gastroparesis, a condition where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. These blood tests typically measure levels of specific hormones, such as ghrelin and motilin, as well as markers of inflammation or infection. Abnormal levels of these markers can suggest the presence of gastroparesis, which can help guide further diagnostic testing and treatment options.
