Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor - VEGF

VEGF is a key signalling protein that stimulates the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and increases vascular permeability—processes important in both normal physiology (for example after tissue injury or in wound healing) and in pathology.

This test measures the amount of VEGF in blood (serum or plasma) and is particularly useful in evaluating conditions with excessive or abnormal vascular growth or leakage—such as the rare

POEMS syndrome (Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal-gammopathy, Skin changes), certain cancers, and angiogenesis-related disorders.
