Same day and Affordable Metanephrines Blood Test, Locations Nationwide

Whether you're monitoring cancer treatment, catecholamine production or detecting an adrenal gland tumor, Request A Test offers a convenient and affordable Metanephrines Blood Test in Fort Worth, TX. This test measures levels of metanephrines. Metanephrines, which include metanephrine and normetanephrine, are the metabolites of epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are part of a group of hormones called catecholamines which are normally produced when a person is under physical or emotional stress. Once the stress has passed, the catecholamines are normally metabolized and removed from the body through the urine in a short period of time. Levels of catecholamines and their metabolites such as metanephrines are normally low but they can be elevated by hormone producing tumors known as pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas. These are endocrine tumors originating in the adrenal glands. While these types of tumors are typically benign, the excess hormones they produce can cause hypertension, severe headaches, anxiety, sweating, nausea, rapid heartbeat and tingling in the hands and feet. If left untreated, they can result in kidney damage, heart disease and an increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Testing for metanephrines is one of the most common ways to screen for the tumors.
