Biomarker Reference · EPI
Adrenaline (EPI) is a clinical biomarker used in neurological-mental-health assessment. Adrenaline is synthesised from noradrenaline in the adrenal medulla and to a lesser extent in some central neurones. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.
Adrenaline is synthesised from noradrenaline in the adrenal medulla and to a lesser extent in some central neurones. It mediates the acute fight-or-flight response, mobilising glucose and fatty acids and increasing cardiac output. Urinary adrenaline reflects adrenal secretion and is metabolised to metanephrine.
Adrenaline is used in this profile to assess acute stress and adrenal output. Diagnostic elevation is seen with phaeochromocytoma and is pursued via plasma or 24-hour metanephrines; the random panel here is exploratory.
Reference ranges vary by laboratory and assay platform. Interpret in context of the issuing laboratory's stated range.
