metanephrine

[met″ah-nef´rin] a urinary metabolite of epinephrine.

met·a·neph·rine

(met-ă-nef'rin), A catabolite of epinephrine found in the serum, urine and in some tissues, resulting from the action of catechol-O-methyltransferase on epinephrine; has no sympathomimetic actions; 3-O-methylepinephrine.

metanephrine

Any exogenous or endogenous catecholamine metabolite excreted in the urine (normal adults, 0.03–0.69 mmol/mol creatinine). Metanephrines are elevated in neuroblastoma, pheochomocytoma, metastases, stress and sepsis.

False positive elevation
High dietary intake of bananas, or therapy with chlopromazine, corticosteroids, l-dopa, dopamine, guanethidine, hydralazine, imipramine, nalidixic acids, phenobarbital, phenylephrine, or tetracycline.

False negative reduction
Clonidine, guanethidine, propranolol, reserpine.

Ref range
24–288 µg/24 hours; US, 0.05–1.2 mg/24 hours.

Specimen
24-hour urine.

Method
HPLC.
