Find Answers to Unexplained Blood Pressure and Anxiety Symptoms
When your body sends warning signals like sudden high blood pressure, pounding headaches, or unexplained anxiety attacks, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Our Pheochromocytoma Profile Test provides the clarity you need to understand what’s happening inside your body and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your Pheochromocytoma Profile Test
This comprehensive screening evaluates four crucial biomarkers that help detect rare adrenal gland tumours called pheochromocytomas. These tumours can produce excessive amounts of stress hormones, leading to dangerous blood pressure spikes and cardiovascular complications. Our advanced testing methodology combines HPLC-EC, TRACE, and LC-MS/MS technologies to ensure 99% accuracy in detecting:
- VMA (Vanillylmandelic Acid) – A key metabolite indicating hormone overproduction
- Metanephrines – Breakdown products that reveal adrenal tumour activity
- Catecholamines – Stress hormones that can cause blood pressure emergencies
- Chromogranin A – A protein marker for neuroendocrine tumours
Who Should Consider This Important Screening?
If you’re experiencing any of these concerning symptoms, our Pheochromocytoma Profile Test could provide life-changing answers:
- Unexplained high blood pressure that doesn’t respond to medication
- Severe, pounding headaches that come and go unexpectedly
- Sudden sweating episodes without physical exertion
- Rapid heartbeat or palpitations that feel alarming
- Anxiety attacks or panic symptoms without clear triggers
- Family history of adrenal tumours or endocrine disorders
- Previous adrenal mass detected on imaging scans
Many South Africans struggle with these symptoms for years without getting proper answers. Early detection can prevent dangerous hypertensive crises and provide targeted treatment options.
