Free or total metanephrines for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma: what is the difference?
Pheochromocytomas, although a rare cause of hypertension, are dangerous tumors that require consideration in large numbers of patients. The resulting low prevalence of these tumors among the tested population and the inadequate sensitivity and specificity of commonly used biochemical tests make diagnosis of pheochromocytoma difficult and time-consuming. As outlined in two articles in this issue...
متن کاملPlasma Free Metanephrines as Diagnostic Markers of Pheochromocytoma
Quantitative determination of catecholamines and their O-methyl metabolites plays an important role in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma (PHEO) – adrenal medulla tumour. This kind of tumour synthesizes, stocks, metabolizes and mostly secretes catecholamines. For this reason it is possible to use elevated concentrations of catecholamines and their metabolic products from plasma and urine as diag...

متن کاملAntioxidant effect of ascorbic acid on the quality of Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during frozen storage
The effect of aqueous solutions of ascorbic acid (AA) on the rancidity development in Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during frozen storage was studied. Cobia fillets were treated with ascorbic acid (AA 0.25% and AA 0.5%) then stored at -18°C up to 6 months. Rancidity development was measured by several biochemical indices including free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), and thiobarb...
متن کاملDisappearance rate of catecholamines, total metanephrines, and neuropeptide Y from the plasma of patients after resection of pheochromocytoma.
BACKGROUND Plasma free metanephrines are a more reliable analyte to measure than catecholamines for the biochemical diagnosis of pheochromocytomas. We hypothesized that the long persistence of total (sulfate-conjugated plus free) metanephrines in the blood might have a significant diagnostic value. METHODS We measured plasma concentrations of catecholamines and total metanephrines (sulfate-co...
