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 Gurugram?

NAFLD is rising rapidly among Gurugram's large corporate workforce in Cyber City, Golf Course Road, and DLF phases, driven by sedentary desk work, high-calorie dining, irregular meals, and rising alcohol use in the corporate social scene. NAFLD affects an estimated 25 to 35% of India's urban adults , the majority unaware. Regular liver testing in Gurugram's residential areas including Sector 56 and Golf Course Road enables lifestyle intervention before irreversible scarring occurs. Patients recovering from hepatitis, those in alcohol recovery, and anyone with persistently unexplained fatigue also benefit from regular liver monitoring.

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?

ALT above 56 U/L or AST above 40 U/L signals hepatocyte stress. The pattern matters: ALT greater than AST typically suggests NAFLD or viral hepatitis. An AST:ALT ratio above 2 points to alcoholic hepatitis. High ALP with normal transaminases suggests bile duct disease rather than liver cell damage. Low albumin alongside high bilirubin indicates serious loss of liver function.

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.
