Catecholamines near me in Kolkata









The Catecholamines test is a blood test that measures the levels of catecholamine hormones (adrenaline and noradrenaline) produced by the adrenal glands. This test supports the evaluation of catecholamine excess when interpreted with clinical findings and confirmatory tests. It is widely available in Kolkata with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price.








What does Catecholamines measure?
The Catecholamines test measures the levels of catecholamines: adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) in the blood. These hormones are crucial for regulating cardiovascular and metabolic functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels.
However, plasma catecholamines exhibit high biologic variability; stress, posture, medications, and exercise can significantly elevate levels. Abnormally high catecholamine levels may indicate adrenal gland tumors, certain genetic disorders, or stress-related overproduction, while low levels may suggest adrenal insufficiency or other dysfunctions. By measuring plasma catecholamines, doctors can evaluate adrenal gland activity and guide appropriate diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment strategies.
