Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a DHA-licensed Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, I emphasize that abnormal catecholamine results must be correlated with clinical findings and imaging. This advanced LC-MS/MS fractionated urine test is exceptionally reliable for detecting even small secretory tumors, but interpretation requires caution regarding medication interference and stress-related elevations. Always discuss results with your specialist before making any treatment decisions.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA License 61713011

- Severe, uncontrolled hypertension (BP >180/120 mmHg) at time of collection.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. How do I prepare for the catecholamines fractionated random urine test?
To ensure accuracy, you must abstain from certain medications, alcohol, and tobacco for 72 hours. Our team coordinates with your physician for safe temporary cessation. A complete avoidance checklist is provided at booking.
2. What do elevated catecholamines in urine indicate?
Elevated fractionated catecholamines may signal pheochromocytoma, but stress and medications can also raise levels significantly. Our DHA‑certified post‑test guidance helps distinguish true pathology from transient rises, ensuring appropriate follow‑up with oncology or nephrology specialists.
