About C-Peptide, Blood Test in Normal
C-peptide is a short chain of amino acids released when the pancreas converts proinsulin into insulin.
When the pancreas produces insulin, it produces C-peptide in equal amounts. Measuring C-peptide therefore gives an indirect but reliable estimate of endogenous insulin secretion.
The test is used to distinguish between conditions that involve reduced insulin production and those driven by other mechanisms. It can also help evaluate the source of low blood glucose in certain situations.
Results are interpreted alongside blood glucose and sometimes insulin levels. A clinician considers the pattern of these values rather than any single number in isolation.
