The 24-Hour Urine Catecholamines Test helps detect pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma by measuring epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine levels. It evaluates adrenal and nervous system function and identifies causes of hypertension, anxiety, and excessive sweating. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and specific medications before the test for accurate results.
Offered by SCD Homecare
The 24-Hour Urine VMA Test helps detect pheochromocytoma and neuroblastoma by measuring vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) levels, a breakdown product of adrenaline. It is essential for diagnosing hormone-secreting tumors that cause high blood pressure, excessive sweating, and rapid heart rate. Avoid caffeine, bananas, and certain drugs before the test for accurate results.
