The Pheochromocytoma Marker Profile 1 is a specialized biochemical test designed to detect markers associated with pheochromocytoma and related adrenal gland tumors. By measuring specific catecholamine-related metabolites, this profile helps identify abnormal hormone production responsible for symptoms like hypertension, palpitations, and anxiety. It is an important tool for early diagnosis, disease monitoring, and guiding further imaging or clinical evaluation.

How is the sample collected?
A routine blood sample is taken for analysis of adrenal hormone metabolites.
Can this test confirm pheochromocytoma?
It strongly indicates abnormal catecholamine activity but may need imaging for confirmation.
Is any preparation required for accurate results?
