Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide-Producing Tumor
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A vasoactive intestinal peptide-producing tumor is a rare growth that releases in excess a substance that regulates the functioning of the digestive tract, which alters the balance of fluids and minerals in the body.
Usual manifestations:
- Abundant and persistent watery diarrhea
- Abnormalities of minerals such as potassium
- A sensation of weakness or dehydration
Why it happens: The excess of that substance stimulates the secretion of fluids in the intestine, which explains the intense diarrhea and the associated imbalances.
Who studies it? The endocrinologist participates in the assessment of this type of hormone-producing tumor, often in coordination with other specialists. With prolonged watery diarrhea without a clear cause, seeking a professional evaluation allows the diagnosis to be guided appropriately.
