Pheochromocytoma Marker Profile

Adrenaline – Evaluates adrenal gland function and assesses the body’s “fight-or-flight” stress response.

Metanephrine – Detects and diagnoses pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas—rare tumors that cause excess catecholamine production, leading to high blood pressure and other symptoms.

Noradrenaline – Diagnoses and monitors adrenal-related disorders such as pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma; helps assess stress hormone imbalance.

Urinary Vanillylmandelic Acid (VMA) – Screens for excessive catecholamine production, aiding in the diagnosis of tumors like pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma.
