Clinical Info	Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) is the major urinary product resulting from the metabolic degradation of catecholamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. Elevated concentrations of VMA are commonly found in cases of catecholamine secreting tumors such as pheochromocytoma, neuroblastoma, and ganglioneuroma.
Specimen Type	Urine
Container	Urine Cup
Collection Instructions	Container/Tube: Urine container Specimen: 10 mL from a random urine collection (5 mL min) Transport Temperature: Frozen Stability: Room temperature: 10 days Refrigerated: 14 days Frozen: 1 year Note: pH adjusted to <3.0 using 6N HCl Urine without preservative is acceptable if pH is below 6 and the sample is shipped frozen. Patient Preparation It is preferable for the patient to be off medications for three days prior to collection. However, common antihypertensives (diuretics, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, alpha and beta blockers) cause minimal or no interference. Patient should avoid alcohol, coffee, tea, tobacco (including use of nicotine patch), bananas, citrus fruits and strenuous exercise prior to collection.
