Overview
Metanephrine is a breakdown product of certain hormones, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, which play important roles in regulating blood pressure and stress response. The Metanephrine-Free test is often recommended when there is clinical suspicion of pheochromocytoma, typically based on symptoms such as hypertension (high blood pressure), episodic or sustained high blood pressure, palpitations, headaches, excessive sweating, and anxiety attacks. Measuring free metanephrines (unconjugated forms) provides a more accurate assessment as they are less influenced by factors such as diet or medications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Metanephrine-Free Plasma test measures the levels of free metanephrine (unconjugated forms) in your blood.
• To evaluate Pheochromocytoma, a rare non-endocrine tumour
• To assess the effectiveness of treatment for Pheochromocytoma
• To diagnose and monitor conditions affecting hormone levels
• To evaluate the risk of developing Pheochromocytoma syndrome
Your doctor may recommend this test if
• you have a suspected or previous diagnosis of Pheochromocytoma,
• you have a family history or genetic risk factors for this tumour, or
• you exhibit symptoms such as high blood pressure, severe headaches, palpitations, sweating, anxiety, or weight loss.
Elevated levels of metanephrine may indicate the presence of Pheochromocytoma, but abnormal results do not necessarily mean you have cancer or any other serious condition.
During this test, a small amount of blood will be drawn from your vein. The sample will then be sent to the laboratory for testing.
• Do not consume bananas, pineapple, chocolates, coffee, ice cream, cereals high in vanilla, potatoes, or B complex supplements 48 hours before collection.
• Provide your CT scan, ultrasound (USG) report, and medication history to assist in result interpretation.
• Follow any additional instructions provided by your doctor. Also, tell them if you have any specific requirements.
Additional hormone-related tests may be recommended based on specific symptoms or suspected conditions.
