Test Details:
The Catecholamines Fractionated Random Urine test is a diagnostic test used to measure the levels of catecholamines in the urine. Catecholamines are a group of hormones and neurotransmitters, including adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine, that are involved in the body’s stress response. This test is typically ordered to evaluate and diagnose conditions related to excessive or insufficient catecholamine production, such as pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma, or autonomic dysfunction. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for these conditions.
During the test, a random urine sample is collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The urine sample is analyzed to measure the levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine. These levels can help determine if there is an imbalance in catecholamine production.
The results of the Catecholamines Fractionated Random Urine test are typically reported as a ratio of catecholamine metabolites to creatinine, which helps normalize the results based on urine concentration. Abnormal results may indicate an underlying medical condition that requires further evaluation and treatment.
It is important to follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider before the test, such as avoiding certain medications or foods that may interfere with the results.
