What does the Epinephrine test measure?

Q: What is the reference range for Epinephrine?

The standard reference range for Epinephrine is Laboratory-specific functional range; Sanesco reports normalised to creatinine and scored relative to proprietary reference population.. Reference ranges vary by laboratory and assay platform — interpret in context of the issuing laboratory's stated range.

Epinephrine (Epi) is a clinical biomarker used in neurological-mental-health assessment. Epinephrine is synthesised from norepinephrine in the adrenal medulla via phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase and is the principal 'stress hormone' released during acute sympathetic activation. It is measured in 4 laboratory tests on BiomarkersLabs.com.

What is Epinephrine?

Epinephrine is synthesised from norepinephrine in the adrenal medulla via phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase and is the principal 'stress hormone' released during acute sympathetic activation. It increases heart rate, mobilises glucose, and redirects blood flow to vital organs. Urinary epinephrine excretion reflects adrenal medullary secretion and whole-body sympathetic tone.

Why is Epinephrine measured?

Urinary epinephrine is interpreted alongside norepinephrine to assess adrenal and sympathetic function. Extreme elevations warrant investigation for catecholamine-secreting tumours via plasma or 24-hour urine metanephrines. In the functional-medicine setting, patterns are used to infer stress resilience and sympathoadrenal balance, recognising the exploratory nature of single dried-urine samples.
