Know More About 24 hrs Urine V M A

The 24-Hour Urine VMA Test measures vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) levels, a breakdown product of adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine). It helps diagnose pheochromocytoma (adrenal gland tumor), neuroblastoma, and other neuroendocrine disorders. Elevated VMA levels indicate excess catecholamine production, leading to hypertension, palpitations, and sweating.
