Urine metanephrines testing is used to help detect or rule out the presence of a rare tumor called a pheochromocytoma or a paraganglioma that releases excess metanephrines.

Metanephrine and normetanephrine are the 3-methoxy metabolites of epinephrine and norepinephrine, respectively. Pheochromocytoma is a rare, though potentially lethal, tumor of chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla that produces episodes of hypertension with palpitations, severe headaches, and sweating (spells). suspicion. Measurement of the metanephrine-to-creatinine ratio is a sensitive and specific test for pheochromocytoma. Increased metanephrine and normetanephrine levels are found in patients with pheochromocytoma and tumors derived from neural crest cells. Finally, repeat testing or further investigations may occasionally be indicated in patients with urinary metanephrine levels below the hypertensive cutoff, or even normal levels, if there is a very high clinical index of suspicion.

However, acute events may increase urinary metanephrine excretion to the level that occurs with tumors. Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. Metanephrine and normetanephrine are both further metabolized to vanillylmandelic acid. The positive and negative predictive values for 24-h urine total metanephrines in the diagnosis of sporadic pheochromocytoma were 88.0% (95% CI, 83.1â93.0%) and 98.8% (95% CI, 97.8â99.4%), respectively . hypertension with palpitations, severe headaches, and sweating diagnosis of catecholamine-secreting pheochromocytomas and Clinical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma is often based on the analysis of catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine) and metanephrines (metanephrine, normetanephrine, 3-methoxytyramine) in urine.
