Inappropriate catecholamines (CAs) production was normally used for the diagnosis of PPGLs within the clinical laboratory. Traditionally, 24-hour urine was used for analysis to permit for intermittent secretion of CAs by PPGLs. The guideline recommends screening of fractionated urinary metanephrines (MNs, the metabolites of CAs) or plasma free MNs using high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) or liquid chromatography
