The following answer was taken from a organic acid profile result by The Great Plains Laboratory, Inc.:

Elevated HVA, a dopamine metabolite, and/or VMA, a metabolite of epinephrine and norepinephrine, is commonly due to stress that increases catecholamine output from the adrenal gland. Stress affects adrenal glands, specifically depleting Vitamin C;
supplementation of at least 1000 mg buffered Vitamin C may be helpful. If values are more than double the upper limit of normal, the possibility of catecholamine-secreting tumors can be ruled out by 24-hour VMA and/or HVA testing in urine. Even in this subgroup, the incidence of tumors is extremely rare.

These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Supplement recommendations are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

What does VMA in urine spot testing mean with a level of 27?

VMA, or vanillylmandelic acid, is a metabolite of catecholamines, such as epinephrine and norepinephrine. A urine spot test showing a VMA level of 27 mg/24 hours may indicate elevated catecholamine production, which can be associated with conditions like neuroblastoma or pheochromocytoma. It's important to interpret this result in conjunction with clinical findings and possibly further testing, as various factors can influence VMA levels. Always consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and management.
