Metanephrine Test (Pheochromocytoma)

The Metanephrine Test is a diagnostic test that measures the levels of metanephrine and normetanephrine in the urine or blood. These two compounds are breakdown products of the hormones adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are produced by the adrenal glands. The test is commonly used to detect Pheochromocytoma, a rare but potentially dangerous tumour of the adrenal gland that produces excessive amounts of adrenaline and noradrenaline.

The Metanephrine Test is a simple and quick procedure that involves collecting a small sample of blood from the patient. The test is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests, such as a CT scan or MRI, to provide a more accurate diagnosis of Pheochromocytoma.

The Metanephrine Test is a valuable tool for patients who have been diagnosed with Pheochromocytoma or who are at risk of developing the condition. It is also useful for individuals who have a history of high blood pressure, headaches, sweating, or other symptoms that are commonly associated with Pheochromocytoma.
