Comments
Centrifuge at refrigerated temperature and freeze immediately.
To limit any risk of analytical or pharmacodynamic interference, avoid taking drugs such as paracetamol, amoxicillin, urapidil, antidepressants, sympathomimetics, certain adrenergic inhibitors (labetalol / sotalol), dopaminergic derivatives and narcotics. Discontinuation of treatment, if clinically possible, is recommended (variable depending on the molecule, from 4 times the half-life). It should be noted that the measurement of urinary metanephrines is less affected by pharmacological interference.
A specific diet is not necessary.
NB: for optimum results, ONE frozen aliquot for ONE frozen analysis.
