The Pheochromocytoma Marker Profile 2 is an advanced biochemical panel designed to evaluate a broader range of catecholamine-related metabolites for detecting pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas. This expanded profile offers higher diagnostic sensitivity for identifying adrenal tumors responsible for excessive hormone secretion. It is beneficial for patients with persistent hypertension, episodic headaches, palpitations, or a family history of adrenal or neuroendocrine tumors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What does the Pheochromocytoma Marker Profile 2 include?
It measures an extended set of catecholamine metabolites to improve detection of adrenal and neuroendocrine tumors.
Who should consider taking this test?
Individuals with sudden spikes in blood pressure, sweating, palpitations, or suspected adrenal gland disorders.
How is the sample collected?
A standard blood sample is taken for detailed biochemical analysis.
Is this profile more sensitive than Profile 1?
Yes, it evaluates additional markers that enhance diagnostic accuracy.
Do I need to avoid certain foods or medications before the test?
Yes, your clinician may advise restrictions to avoid false elevations in hormone levels.
Can this test help monitor treatment or recurrence?
Absolutely—follow-up testing helps assess post-treatment hormone normalization.
Does stress influence the results?
Yes, stress and physical exertion may temporarily increase marker levels.
When will the results be available?
Results are usually provided within the usual turnaround time for specialized endocrine testing.
