At Hypro Diagnostics, our focus is on a diagnostic test that evaluates the concentrations of metanephrine and normetanephrine in the blood, aiding in the detection of adrenal gland tumors, particularly pheochromocytoma. Positioned above the kidneys, the adrenal glands are instrumental in hormone production, including adrenaline and catecholamines, pivotal for blood pressure regulation and stress response. The breakdown of adrenaline yields metanephrine and normetanephrine. While opinions on the optimal test for adrenal gland tumor diagnosis vary, with some favoring urine tests for catecholamines due to perceived lower false-positive rates, our commitment at Hypro Diagnostics is to provide a comprehensive diagnostic approach. This ensures a thorough examination of adrenal gland health, enabling accurate assessments and informed decision-making in patient care.
