Find Peace of Mind with Our VMA 24-Hour Urine Test
When unexplained symptoms like persistent high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, or severe headaches disrupt your life, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. Our VMA (Vanillyl Mandelic Acid) 24-hour urine test provides the clarity you deserve, helping detect neuroendocrine tumours early when treatment outcomes are most positive. For just R1,700, you can take a proactive step toward understanding your health and gaining the peace of mind that comes with accurate diagnostic results.
Understanding Your VMA Test
The VMA test measures vanillyl mandelic acid levels in your urine over a 24-hour period. This substance is a breakdown product of catecholamines – hormones produced by your adrenal glands. When neuroendocrine tumours like pheochromocytoma develop, they can produce excessive amounts of these hormones, leading to elevated VMA levels. Our advanced HPLC-EC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Electrochemical Detection) method ensures precise measurement with 99% accuracy, giving you results you can trust completely.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained high blood pressure that doesn’t respond to medication
- Episodes of rapid heartbeat or palpitations
- Severe headaches that come and go unexpectedly
- Excessive sweating without physical exertion
- Anxiety attacks or feelings of panic
- Family history of neuroendocrine tumours
- Previous diagnosis that requires monitoring
Many patients find relief in finally understanding the cause of their symptoms after years of uncertainty.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Early detection of neuroendocrine tumours can be life-changing. When caught early, these conditions are highly treatable, often with excellent outcomes. The R1,700 investment in this test could save you from costly emergency treatments down the line and, more importantly, protect your long-term health. Regular monitoring also provides baseline data that helps your healthcare provider track changes over time, ensuring any developments are caught at the earliest possible stage.
