What is 24 Hrs Urinary Metanephrine?
This test measures the amount of metanephrine, a breakdown product of adrenaline, in your urine over a 24-hour period. It helps assess the function of your adrenal glands, which produce hormones vital for various body processes.
Why is this test important?
Elevated levels of urinary metanephrine can indicate the presence of a pheochromocytoma, a rare tumor of the adrenal gland, or other neuroendocrine tumors. It's crucial for diagnosing these conditions and guiding appropriate treatment.
How to Prepare
Certain medications, foods (like coffee, tea, bananas, chocolate), and stress can affect results. Your doctor will provide specific instructions regarding dietary restrictions and medication adjustments before the test.
