What does this test Metanephrine Free Plasma Test identify?

Metanephrine Free Plasma Test
The Metanephrine Free Plasma Test is a diagnostic test that measures the levels of metanephrine in the blood. Metanephrine is a metabolite of adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are hormones produced by the adrenal glands. This test is used to identify conditions such as pheochromocytoma, a rare tumor of the adrenal gland that can cause high blood pressure and other symptoms. Elevated levels of metanephrine in the blood may indicate the presence of a pheochromocytoma or other adrenal gland disorders.

Why is this test Metanephrine Free Plasma Test taken?

Metanephrine Free Plasma Test

The Metanephrine Free Plasma Test is taken to measure the levels of metanephrine in the blood. Metanephrine is a metabolite of epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are hormones released by the adrenal glands in response to stress. High levels of metanephrine can indicate an adrenal tumor, such as a pheochromocytoma, which can cause symptoms like high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and anxiety.

This test is typically ordered when a healthcare provider suspects that a patient may have an adrenal tumor based on their symptoms or the results of other tests. It can help confirm a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and guide treatment decisions.
