Find Answers to Unexplained High Blood Pressure and Severe Symptoms
When your body sends warning signals like sudden high blood pressure, pounding headaches, or unexplained sweating, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. Our Metanephrines Fractionated Random Urine Test is specifically designed to uncover the root cause of these concerning symptoms, giving you the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
Understanding Your Metanephrines Test
This specialised test measures metanephrine and normetanephrine levels in your urine – crucial markers that help detect pheochromocytoma, a rare but potentially serious adrenal gland tumour. Unlike standard blood pressure checks, this test provides deep insights into your adrenal function, helping your healthcare team make informed decisions about your care.
Using advanced High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Electrochemical Detection (HPLC-EC), we deliver results with exceptional precision and reliability that you can trust completely.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this essential test if you experience:
- Unexplained episodes of very high blood pressure
- Severe headaches that come on suddenly
- Rapid heartbeat or palpitations without obvious cause
- Profuse sweating even when not physically active
- Anxiety attacks or feelings of panic
- Family history of adrenal tumours or genetic syndromes
- Resistant hypertension despite medication
These symptoms can be frightening and disruptive to your daily life. Getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment and relief.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying pheochromocytoma early can be life-changing. When detected promptly, these tumours are highly treatable, often through minimally invasive surgery. Early diagnosis means:
- Preventing dangerous blood pressure crises that could lead to stroke or heart damage
- Avoiding years of unnecessary medications for misdiagnosed hypertension
- Reducing the anxiety of unexplained symptoms
- Getting you on the right treatment path faster
- Potentially saving your life through timely intervention
Many patients experience immediate relief once their condition is properly diagnosed and treated.
