Catecholamines Fractionated Random Urine Test

The Catecholamines Fractionated Random Urine Test analyzes urinary dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine to assess adrenal medulla activity and sympathetic function. Elevated catecholamines may suggest adrenal tumors such as pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, while abnormalities can reflect neuroblastoma or stress-related disorders. This test provides insight into hormone regulation and systemic health.
