First, the free metanephrines are produced continuously within pheochromocytoma tumor cells from catecholamines leaking from storage vesicles within the cell cytoplasm. Thus, these metabolites are produced independently of catecholamine released by tumors. This has advantages since catecholamine release can be episodic or relatively non-existent in some pheochromocytomas. Second, metanephrines commonly measured in urine are different metabolites.

Specifically, caffeine is a problem both directly and indirectly. Acetaminophen or any drugs containing acetaminophen can be a problem. No other medicinal source of interference has been identified. Clonidine or its metabolites show up in the chromatograms but they aren't a problem. Again, listing these interferences is best left up to the individual laboratory responsible for the test being performed. If the patient is not given a list of known interferences, be sure to insist on having a copy.

They are frequently unaware or don't realize that an initial, life-threatening cause, such as a cancerous tumor or collection of blood between the layers of membranes covering the brain, leads to that craniotomy.

Our water is of very high quality and excellent taste, and we use no sodium in the carbonating process. Other bottlers use sodium to keep the bubbles in when the liquid is warm and poured over ice. The valve on our bottle maintains pressure and carbonation even after you've begun using the bottle. Screw-top bottles cannot do this; open a bottle of any sparkling water and it will immediately start to go flat. Our bottles will maintain carbonation for months; the optimal shelf life is 3 months.
