| Clinical Info |
Homovanillic acid (HVA) and other catecholamine metabolites (vanillylmandelic acid: VMA and dopamine) are typically elevated in patients with catecholamine-secreting tumors (eg, neuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, and other neural crest tumors). HVA and VMA levels may also be useful in monitoring patients who have been treated as a result of the above-mentioned tumors. |

| Collection Instructions |
Container/Tube: Plastic Urine Container or Tube with No Preservative Specimen: 5 mL Random Urine ( 2 mL min) Transport Temperature: Refrigerated Stability; 28 Days Refrigerated 180 Days Frozen Patient Preparation: Administration of L-dopa may falsely increase homovanillic acid results; it should be discontinued 24 hours prior to and during collection of specimen. (Lab Use only- Adjust the urine pH to a level between 1 and 5 by adding 50% acetic acid dropwise and checking the pH.) |
