Find Peace of Mind with Our Metanephrines Urine Test
Living with unexplained high blood pressure, sudden sweating episodes, or heart palpitations can be frightening and overwhelming. We understand the anxiety that comes with these mysterious symptoms and the desperate need for answers. Our Metanephrines Fractionated 24-Hour Urine Test is specifically designed to provide the clarity you deserve, helping detect potential adrenal tumours that could be affecting your quality of life.
Understanding Your Test: What We’re Looking For
This test measures two important substances in your urine – metanephrine and normetanephrine. These are breakdown products of adrenaline and noradrenaline, the hormones that regulate your blood pressure and heart rate. When adrenal tumours (pheochromocytomas) are present, they can produce excessive amounts of these hormones, leading to the troubling symptoms you may be experiencing. Our advanced HPLC-EC methodology ensures the highest level of accuracy in detecting even subtle changes in these hormone levels.

You should consider this test if you’re experiencing any of these concerning symptoms:
- Unexplained high blood pressure that doesn’t respond to medication
- Sudden episodes of rapid heartbeat or palpitations

- Profuse sweating even in cool environments
- Severe headaches that come and go unexpectedly
- Pale skin and trembling hands during episodes
- Family history of adrenal tumours or multiple endocrine neoplasia
These symptoms can significantly impact your daily life and create constant worry. Getting the right test can provide the answers you need to move forward with confidence.
