The Pheochromocytoma Profile Test is a specialized diagnostic examination designed to detect the presence of pheochromocytomas, which are rare tumors of the adrenal gland that can secrete excessive amounts of hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. These hormones can lead to a variety of symptoms, including high blood pressure, headaches, palpitations, and sweating. The test primarily measures the levels of certain catecholamines and their metabolites in the blood or urine, providing crucial information for the diagnosis and management of this condition.

At DNA Labs UAE, this comprehensive test is offered at a cost of 2340 AED. The facility utilizes advanced laboratory techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results, aiding healthcare professionals in the effective treatment planning for patients suspected of having pheochromocytomas. DNA Labs UAE is known for its commitment to quality and patient care, making it a trusted choice for this important diagnostic test.

Test Details:

The Pheochromocytoma Profile test is a diagnostic tool used to assess the presence of pheochromocytoma, a rare tumor that develops in the adrenal glands. This profile test typically includes the following components:

  1. Plasma Metanephrines: This test measures the levels of metanephrine and normetanephrine, which are breakdown products of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Elevated levels of these metabolites in the plasma can indicate the presence of pheochromocytoma.
  2. Urinary Metanephrines: Similar to the plasma metanephrines test, this test measures the levels of metanephrine and normetanephrine in the urine. Elevated levels of these metabolites can also indicate the presence of pheochromocytoma.
  3. Plasma Catecholamines: This test measures the levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine in the plasma. Elevated levels of these hormones can be indicative of pheochromocytoma.
  4. Urinary Catecholamines: This test measures the levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine in the urine. Elevated levels of these hormones can suggest the presence of pheochromocytoma.
  5. Plasma Free Metanephrines: This test measures the levels of free metanephrines in the plasma. Free metanephrines are considered more sensitive and specific for diagnosing pheochromocytoma compared to total metanephrines.
  6. Genetic Testing: In some cases, genetic testing may be included in the pheochromocytoma profile to identify specific gene mutations associated with pheochromocytoma, such as mutations in the RET, VHL, or SDH genes.

The results of the pheochromocytoma profile test can help healthcare providers confirm or rule out the presence of pheochromocytoma. If the results are positive, further imaging studies, such as CT scans or MRI, may be ordered to locate and evaluate the tumor. Treatment options for pheochromocytoma typically involve surgical removal of the tumor.
