What is 24 Hrs Urinary Nor-Metanephrine?
This test measures the amount of nor-metanephrine, a breakdown product of noradrenaline, in your urine over a 24-hour period. It's used to evaluate adrenal gland function and detect potential hormonal imbalances.
Why is this test important?
Elevated nor-metanephrine levels can indicate conditions such as pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, which are tumors that produce excessive catecholamines. This test is vital for early diagnosis and management of these rare but serious conditions.
How to Prepare
Avoid certain foods (like coffee, tea, bananas, chocolate) and medications as instructed by your doctor. Stress and strenuous exercise should also be avoided before and during the collection period.
