Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry, 2021 Plasma free metanephrines are widely used for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL), yet quantifying metanephrines using a simple and cost-effective approach may be challenging due to preanalytical and analytical constraints. In this

Correlation between the size of pheochromocytoma and the level of metanephrines
Endocrine Regulations, 2023 Objective. Pheochromocytomas (PHEO) and paraganglioma (PGLs) are rare neuroendocrine catecholamine-producing tumors that arise from the chromaffin cells of either the adrenal medulla or extra-adrenal paraganglionic tissues. Despite the recent advances in

A Laboratory Medicine Perspective on the Investigation of Phaeochromocytoma and Paraganglioma
Diagnostics, 2023 Phaeochromocytomas (PC) and sympathetic paragangliomas (PGL) are potentially malignant tumours arising from the adrenal medulla (PC) or elsewhere in the sympathetic nervous system (PGL).

Natural History and Management of Familial Paraganglioma Syndrome Type 1: Long-Term Data from a Large Family [PDF]
, 2020 Head and neck paragangliomas are the most common clinical features of familial paraganglioma syndrome type 1 caused by succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D (SDHD) mutation. The clinical management of this syndrome is still unclear.

Hypermetabolism and Substrate Utilization Rates in Pheochromocytoma and Functional Paraganglioma
Biomedicines, 2022 The overproduction of catecholamines in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) induces a hypermetabolic state. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of a hypermetabolic state and differences in substrate metabolism in consecutive PPGL ...

Phasing-in plasma metanephrines determination [PDF]
European Journal of Endocrinology, 2013 ObjectivesWe set up plasma normetanephrine (pNMA) and metanephrine (pMA) assays as they demonstrated their usefulness for diagnosing phaeochromocytomas. Our scope is to describe some practical laboratory aspects and the clinical relevance of these assays in our endocrinological or cardiological departments.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the results

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Catecholamine-producing tumors of childhood include most notably neuroblastoma, but also pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). Diagnosis of the former depends largely on biopsy-dependent histopathology, but this is contraindicated in PPGL where ...
