Overview
An elevated concentration of blood and urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) is suggestive of neuroblastoma.[1][2]
Laboratory Findings
Complete blood count
- Anemia
Basic metabolic panel
- Blood tests indicates elevated concentration of catecholamine or its metabolites such as:
- Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA)
- Homovanillic acid (HVA)
Urinalysis
- A 24-hour collection of urine indicates elevated concentration of catecholamine or its metabolites such as :
- Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA)
- Homovanillic acid (HVA)
