BMF 85 - Biogenic Amines

Phaeochromocytoma (PCC) is a rare tumour in the adrenal glands, affecting less than 1 person per 2,000.
 
The tumour causes excess secretion of catecholamine’s resulting in hypertension, but can also lead to diabetes-like symptoms.
 
Laboratory diagnosis includes measurement of urine catecholamine’s or urine and plasma metanephrines.
 
Chiron now offer native and labelled standards as well as standard mixes for these diagnostic markers.
 
To find out more about PCC and available standards read our biogenic amine newsletter.
