A pathophysiological role for inflammation in schizophrenia has been one of the more enduring findings in the field.

In midgut NETs serotonin production is most prominent. Patients with NETs producing excessive serotonin can develop carcinoid syndrome. Serotonin is a product of the 'tryptophan pathway'. Serotonin is metabolized in 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) and then excreted with urine. 5-HIAA in 24-hour

Rationale: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET) have a rare, slowly progressing disease. Therefore they undergo many treatments such as surgery followed by long-lasting systemic treatments with somatostatin analogues. These procedures can each result in increased diarrhea and loss of critical
