Avatar f tn VMA is a 24 hour urine test. I have an adrenal adenoma. This test measures levels of certain hormones in the urine that are by products.
770296 tn?1244385841 The plasma test measures the amount of hormone present in the blood at the moment of collection, while the urine test measures the amount excreted over a 24-hour period.
Avatar f tn Just to add to the pheochromocytoma saga - I was tested for it within the last year and the best way is both the blood and 24 hour urine test. The urine test MUST be started when the surge in blood pressure or pulse rate begins and then continue collection for 24 hrs. You can't just do a 24 hour collection. mine came back negative as expected, but the doctor wanted to rule out that as a cause for my episodic rises in BP.

Avatar m tn The urine, no. Blood test is for PT-PTT, your ability to clot. If you are way,way slow on clotting they will choose a method besides needle biopsy or delay it.

Avatar n tn A few weeks ago I had a 24 hour urine test done along with a potassium test ,was wondering how long do these test usually take and what exactly are these test looking for?
Avatar n tn Hi there. The 24 hour analysis would often be ccarried out because of some abnormal Blood test result or in a case of a spike in BP? Did you have any other tests prior to the 24 hour collection? As Rumpled says, there could be a number of reasons for an abnormal high hormone test result. One reason is Aldosterone. This is released by the Adrenal gland into the blood. (Metanephrines) Too much can cause huge BP spikes.
Avatar f tn especially if you have high blood pressure.
787406 tn?1339203183 Everything i read on the net says if the plasma catecholamines test is High they should further investigate it even if the 24 hour urine fractional metanephrines is normal. But my endo says its just stress,told me he didn't want to see me back for 4-6 weeks.
Avatar f tn m a big girl, wanting natural delivery, and my blood pressure only spikes when I see them, they want a 24 hour urine screen. They test your urine every visit at my midwife and I have always been negative. Should I be nervous or concerned?

Avatar n tn I went back to the doctor and she requested more bloodwork and a 24 hour urine for catecholamines, VMA, and metadrenaline. All fine. My husband thinks I need mental help but I just don't know what is wrong. Any suggestions????
Avatar f tn I saw a cardiologist privately (diagnosed severe HTn, mild mitral regurg and 2 x flow murmurs plus LVH) and also had the VMA urine test (neg). I asked my GP to arrange the plasma metanephrine test but the path lab is making a fuss stating that the urine test is sufficient. (Didn't know that had to be a fasting test). I do have many of the symptoms of a pheo (having researched it) but it seems it's a really difficult diagnoses to reach. I did have ?
Avatar m tn What can cause a sudden onset of severe tinnutis? 2 days after spinal injection for spinal stenosis(L3&4), someone threw a light switch and I now have constant ringing, buzzing in my head. Initially had "ice-pick" type headaches that went away. Moderate pressure on left side of head (ear) when ringing subsides. MRI, MRA of head and neck are negative. Audiology report normal for age. C-reactive protein, RA negative.
