PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA PROFILE Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Cost
Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor that grows in the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys. This tumor produces excessive amounts of hormones, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, which can cause high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, and other symptoms. To diagnose pheochromocytoma, doctors may recommend a pheochromocytoma profile test. In this blog, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and cost of the pheochromocytoma profile test offered by DNA Labs India.
Symptoms of Pheochromocytoma
The symptoms of pheochromocytoma can vary from person to person, and some people may not experience any symptoms at all. However, common symptoms of pheochromocytoma include:
- High blood pressure
- Rapid heartbeat
- Headaches
- Sweating
- Tremors
- Palpitations
- Abdominal pain
- Weight loss
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should consult with a doctor immediately. Pheochromocytoma can be a life-threatening condition if left untreated.
Diagnosis of Pheochromocytoma
To diagnose pheochromocytoma, doctors may recommend a pheochromocytoma profile test. This test measures the levels of catecholamines and metanephrines in the blood and urine. Catecholamines are hormones produced by the adrenal glands, and metanephrines are the breakdown products of these hormones.
The pheochromocytoma profile test offered by DNA Labs India includes:
- Plasma free metanephrines
- Urinary metanephrines
- Urinary catecholamines
These tests can help doctors determine if a patient has pheochromocytoma or another condition that is causing their symptoms.

Pheochromocytoma is a Catecholamine producing tumor which accounts for <1% of all secondary causes of hypertension. Although 90% of Pheochromocytomas are benign they require early diagnosis and therapy. Aproximately 90% of these tumors arise within the adrenal medulla whereas 10-15% are extra-adrenal in origin.
