Unexpected hypotension in catecholamine reversal: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017 Background Catecholamine agents are commonly used to support circulation; however, they may cause unexpected hypotension in a special situation. Here we describe the first unexpected case of hypotension in response to catecholamine agents.

Optimising urinary catecholamine metabolite diagnostics for neuroblastoma [PDF]
, 2023 INTRODUCTION: The analysis of urinary catecholamine metabolites is a cornerstone of neuroblastoma diagnostics. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the sampling method, and variable combinations of catecholamine metabolites are being used.

Dietary flavonols contribute to false-positive elevation of homovanillic acid, a marker of catecholamine-secreting tumours [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Urinary homovanillic acid (HVA) measurement is used routinely as a marker of the first test for the screening of catecholamine-secreting tumors and dopamine metabolism, but generates a large number of false-positive results.

Catecholamines in neuroblastoma: Driver of hypertension, or solely a marker of disease?
Cancer Reports, 2022 Background Neuroblastoma is a common solid tumor of childhood and is often associated with hypertension. Potential etiologies contributing to hypertension include renal compression, pain, volume overload, and catecholamine secretion. Cases We completed a
