Abstract
Experience in the use of an in-house urinary free catecholamine assay for the investigation of possible neural crest tumours in a District General Hospital laboratory is described. Elevated excretion of catecholamines and vanillylmandelic acid was found in a number of cases including phaeochromocytoma and neuroblastoma. These as well as several other situations in which elevated catecholamine and vanillylmandelic acid values were found are discussed.This publication has 23 references indexed in Scilit:
