Urinary Free Metanephrines for Diagnosis of Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021 Background Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) is diagnosed through biochemical confirmation of excessive catecholamines in urine and plasma. Recent technological developments have allowed us to measure urinary free metanephrines; however, the ...
