dc.description.abstractBased on urinary studies of patients with pheochromocytoma as compared to hypertensives considered to be without this tumor, rigorous biochemical criteria for diagnosis are proposed. Free catecholamines in 90% and metanephrine metabolites in 100% of the pheochromocytoma patients' urine samples exceeded the normal (hypertensive) values by more than 5 SD. No patient without pheochromocytoma has falsely positive values in both free catecholamine and metanephrine metabolite determinations. No patient with a pheochromocytoma had a urine sample negative for metanephrine metabolites. The combination of these studies has given excellent accuracy for definitive diagnosis.en_US
