Service Providers for 24 hrs Urinary Metanephrine
24-Hour Urinary Metanephrine is a test that measures the levels of metanephrines (byproducts of adrenaline and noradrenaline) in urine over a 24-hour period. It is primarily used to diagnose pheochromocytoma, a rare tumor of the adrenal glands that causes excessive production of adrenaline. Elevated metanephrine levels can indicate the presence of this tumor. The test involves collecting all urine over a 24-hour period, and patients may be advised to avoid certain foods, drinks, or medications that can affect the results, such as caffeine or antihypertensive drugs.
