Medical Service Information

Purpose Test

  • Dopamine: A neurotransmitter that plays a role in regulating movement, mood, and behavior.
  • Norepinephrine: Considered both a neurotransmitter and a hormone, it helps regulate blood pressure and the body’s response to stress.
  • Epinephrine: Also known as adrenaline, it is a hormone released during stress and works to increase heart rate and widen the airways.
  • Diagnosis of Neuroendocrine Tumors: Used to detect tumors such as pheochromocytoma, which causes increased catecholamine secretion.
  • Assessment of Glandular Function: Helps determine whether the adrenal glands are functioning properly and examines any abnormalities in catecholamine secretion.
  • Monitoring High Blood Pressure: Elevated catecholamine levels can help explain causes of unexplained high blood pressure.

Recommended groups

  • Individuals with unexplained high blood pressure: High blood pressure that cannot be explained by common causes is considered an indication for this test.
  • Individuals showing symptoms of anxiety or stress: Such as rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, or persistent anxiety, as these symptoms may indicate increased catecholamine secretion.
  • Patients with neuroendocrine tumors: Individuals suspected of having pheochromocytoma or other tumors that cause excessive catecholamine secretion.
  • Individuals with unexplained symptoms: Such as chest pain, unexplained headaches, or dizziness, which may indicate an imbalance in catecholamine levels.
  • Individuals with a family history of hormonal disorders: If there is a family history of adrenal tumors or hormonal problems, this test is recommended.
  • Children with unexplained symptoms: Such as unusual behavioral changes or unexplained physical symptoms.

Symptoms indicative

  • Unexplained high blood pressure: A noticeable increase in blood pressure without a clear cause may indicate elevated catecholamine levels.
  • Rapid heart rate: A sensation of fast or irregular heartbeats, which may suggest excessive catecholamine system activity.
  • Excessive sweating: Abnormally increased sweating, especially without physical activity.
  • Feelings of anxiety or stress: Persistent anxiety or stress may indicate an imbalance in catecholamine secretion.
  • Chest pain: Chest pain may occur as a result of increased heart rate or blood pressure.
  • Headache: Persistent or severe headaches may indicate elevated catecholamine levels.
