Many drugs can potentially interfere with assays of catecholamines and any other substances, but this often depends on the method and laboratory. One facility can have machines and equipment that vary from that being used by another facility. Also, whether it is a problem or not depends on the level of expertise and competency of the operator running the assay. Caffeine, vanilla, vanilla extract, and bananas are known problems for urine testing.

It is still recommended that the plasma metanephrine test be performed to confirm or eliminate the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma, particularly if the symptoms are episodic. The 24 hour urine tests are not always successful at picking up intermittently secreting tumors. Symptoms vary greatly with each patient. Sterotyped textbook cases of Pheochromocytoma are rare. Symptoms can include:

The amount of service you receive will depend primarily on how much service you need (within limits), and, almost as importantly, on how much funding is available from private or public resources. Usual amounts of service received range from 1 to 2 hours once or twice a week to 8 hours per day 5 to 7 days per week. Usually, agency service provision is available from 8 to 5 on weekdays; some agencies also offer "after hours" and weekend care.

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.

If you are pregnant, have recently been pregnant or have reached menopause, you may get a misleading result. This may also be true if you are taking fertility drugs or are receiving injections which contain hCG or LH.

This is a technique that is used to measure the blood presssure during daily life. To do this, you are hooked up with a monitor that is about the size of a Walkman radio, and is worn on a belt round the waist. It is connected by a thin tube to a blood pressure cuff on the upper arm, and is relatively unobtrusive.

Brain tissue samples are required for testing; thus, there are no live animal tests. The IHC test is considered the definitive test but must be conducted in national laboratories and may take a week or more to complete. Rapid tests called ELISA tests (which can be done within 24 hours) have been approved as screening tests. The ELISA test will report negative or inconclusive results, with inclusive samples immediately sent to a national laboratory for further testing.

The upper limit of normal for ambu;atiry blood pressure is 135/85 mmHg for the daytime readings, and 130/80 for the average 24 hour level. There are two reasons for choosing the 135/85 level. Fist, studies realting ambulatory blood pressure to the risk of heart attacsk and strokes have shown that the risk increases markedly above this value, and second, it corresponds to the widely accepted treatment goal of 140/90 for office blood pressure.
