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.

had 24 hour urine test proved positive for enzymes does that mean i have a tumor tested vma
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.
Vanillyl mandelic acid (VMA), official name: hydroxy(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-phenyl)acetic acid formula: C9H10O5It is an end-stage metabolite of epinephrine and norepinephrine, the catecholamines.Urinary VMA is elevated in patients with tumors that secrete catecholamines
this test is used to detect pheochromocytoma, a tumor of the adrenal medulla that secretes excess cathecholamines, epinephrine and norepinephrine,
Vanillylmandelic Acid
No, they performed at the VMA's in 2008.
Sober at the 2009 VMA's
VMA IK was created in 2002.
Never heard of a VMA light.
VMA is the medical abbreviation for vanillylmandelic acid.
the VMA's wil begin on September 12 on MTV
VMA Global College was created in 1974.
