Metanephrine: Less than 0 5 nmol L Higher levels of metanephrines may mean that you have an adrenal gland tumor But false-positive results can happen Higher levels may also be caused by obstructive sleep apnea, stress, or other illnesses How is this test done? The test is done with a blood sample
- Understanding Metanephrine Levels In Urine | MedShun
Metanephrine is a substance produced when the body breaks down norepinephrine, a hormone that regulates heart rate, blood pressure, and sugar levels This process occurs in the adrenal glands, which sit atop the kidneys
- Metanephrine Plasma - Lab Results explained | HealthMatters. io
Metanephrine is a metabolite of epinephrine Normally, the levels of Metanephrine are low in the plasma However, when there are tumors in the body that originate from neural crest cells called paragangliomas or neuroblastomas, or from pheochromocytomas (an adrenal gland tumor), the levels of Metanephrine rise significantly
- Metanephrine - Wikipedia
Metanephrine, also known as metadrenaline, is a metabolite of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) created by action of catechol-O-methyl transferase on epinephrine
- Metanephrines for Evaluating Palpitations and Flushing - PMC
Metanephrines are the preferred initial biochemical test for pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas and consist of fractionated plasma or urinary metanephrine or normetanephrine Metanephrines have higher sensitivity than plasma or urinary catecholamines as diagnostic tests for pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma

- Plasma free metanephrines - Pathology Tests Explained
Plasma free metanephrines is a test used to help diagnose or rule out the presence of a catecholamine-producing tumour (phaeochromocytoma or paraganglioma) This test is very good at detecting these tumours Studies have shown that plasma testing is more sensitive than the more traditional 24-hour urine catecholamines testing
