Metanephrine 24 hr Urine Test in Vadodara

x

 

Sterling Accuris diagnostics offers 24 hr Urine Test in  Vadodara  to measure the levels of Metanephrine in the urine that your body makes over 24 hr period.

What is a Metanephrine 24 hr Urine Test?

Metanephrine 24 Urine Test is done to measure the levels of metanephrine in urine over a 24 hr period.

Metanephrines are produced when your body breaks down hormones named catecholamines that are made by the adrenal glands that comprise epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Catecholamines are released in reaction to physical and emotional stress and are also called stress hormones or fight and flight hormones

Catecholamines carry out various actions in the body. After completion of their actions, they are broken down into inactive compounds. Epinephrine breaks down into metanephrine and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) which are flushed out of the body through urine. However, pheochromocytomas and other tumours like paragangliomas secrete catecholamines in large quantities and thereby resulting in elevated concentrations in both urine and blood.

Why and when is a Metanephrine 24 hr Urine Test done?

This test is generally recommended by a health care practitioner to monitor the levels of Metanephrine content in the body that helps to interpret or rule out a rare tumour called pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma; these tumours stimulate excess production of catecholamines specifically epinephrine which is further broken down to metanephrines. It is also used for confirming positive plasma metanephrine results.

You may require to go for this test if your healthcare practitioner suspects that you have an adrenal gland tumour. Symptoms may include following:

  • High blood pressure
  • Headaches
  • Palpitations 
  • Sweating
