What is a Plasma Catecholamine Test in Bengaluru ?
What is PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE?
This test measures catecholamines in the blood , the hormones epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine, and dopamine. These chemicals help control heart rate, blood pressure, circulation, and the body's stress response.
What does PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE measure?
Abnormal levels can point to conditions such as pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, certain adrenal disorders, autonomic dysfunction, or effects of stress and some medications. Doctors order plasma catecholamine tests when a person has unexplained high blood pressure, episodes of rapid heartbeat, sweating, or anxiety-like spells. Results help diagnose hormone-secreting tumors, guide treatment, and monitor therapy. The test requires careful preparation and timing for accurate results.
What symptoms suggest PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE may be needed?
A doctor may recommend PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE when a patient reports fatigue or persistent low energy, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark amber or tea-coloured urine, pale or clay-coloured stools, upper right abdominal discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal swelling, and unexplained weight loss. Sample collection for Bengaluru is available at labs and at home across Hebbal, Bellandur, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
How is PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE performed?
Whether you visit a walk-in lab in Hebbal or book home collection in Bellandur, Bengaluru, the process is the same. A trained phlebotomist performs a brief, sterile venipuncture, barcodes the sample for tracking, and dispatches it to the NABL lab. Your digital report is available in the GetVisit app the same day for most blood tests.
How accurate is PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE?
Every GetVisit sample from Hebbal, Bellandur, and across Bengaluru is processed at NABL-accredited labs that use internationally calibrated reference standards, pass external quality assessments, and maintain internal quality control at every shift. Reports are accepted by all major hospital networks, specialists, and insurance providers in India.
Are there any risks to PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE?
A blood draw for PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE is very safe. Occasionally there is minor bruising or light-headedness; sitting for a couple of minutes afterwards at the Hebbal or Bellandur, Bengaluru collection point usually prevents this.
Did you know?
Plasma catecholamines are circulating neurotransmitters and hormones, epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine, released by the adrenal medulla and sympathetic nerves.
Plasma Catecholamine Test Preparation in Bengaluru

Documents and clothing:
Keep your prescription and ID handy, along with your OPD insurance details if applicable. Wear sleeves that roll up easily.

Why Take a Plasma Catecholamine Test in Bengaluru ?
When does a doctor order PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE?
PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE is often ordered as part of hormonal or adrenal panels, including plasma free metanephrines. Doctors may request it for unexplained high blood pressure, sudden palpitations, sweating spells, or episodes of anxiety and dizziness.
Who should get PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE done in Bengaluru?
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a rapidly emerging problem in Bengaluru's IT workforce. Studies across the city's corporate hospitals find NAFLD in a significant share of professionals tested , strongly associated with the sedentary desk-bound work concentrated in Whitefield, Electronic City, Koramangala, and Indiranagar, combined with irregular meal patterns and calorie-dense food delivery consumption. Regular liver testing benefits: regular alcohol drinkers, individuals with BMI above 28, anyone on long-term medication including statins or anti-TB drugs, people with a personal or family history of hepatitis B or C, those with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome, and all adults above 40 in annual preventive panels. In Bengaluru, residents of Whitefield, Koramangala, and similar areas with sedentary lifestyles and calorie-dense diets face particularly elevated metabolic liver risk.
What conditions can PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE help diagnose?
It helps detect adrenal tumors and evaluate autonomic or stress-related disorders. Abnormal results can come from tumors, severe stress, medications, or stimulant use. A family history of pheochromocytoma makes testing more important.
What do PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE results mean?
Mildly elevated ALT or AST (2–3× normal): fatty liver, obesity, or medication effect , often reversible. Moderately elevated (3–10×): active viral hepatitis or drug toxicity , requires urgent investigation. Severely elevated (>10×): acute liver injury , a medical emergency. High bilirubin: liver processing failure, bile duct obstruction, or haemolysis. Low albumin: significant loss of liver synthetic function, seen in advanced cirrhosis or malnutrition.
How often should PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE be repeated?
Adults with no liver risk factors and a previously normal result: annually. Patients with NAFLD or treated hepatitis: every 6 months. Patients on hepatotoxic medication: baseline before starting, then at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months during treatment. Patients with active liver disease: at intervals specified by their gastroenterologist.
What happens after PLASMA CATECHOLAMINE results are ready?
You will be notified the moment results are ready, usually the same day for routine tests. Open the report in the GetVisit app to see each value beside its reference range, share it with your doctor in a tap, or book a specialist consultation to talk it through.
