Overview
An elevated concentration of blood and urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) is suggestive of neuroblastoma.[1][2]
Laboratory Findings
Blood test results
- Reduced Hemoglobin level
- Elevated ferritin level
- Elevated catecholamine levels
- Elevated dopamine level
- Elevated vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) level
- Elevated Homovanillic acid (HVA) level
- Elevated lactate dehydrogenase level (>1500 U/ml)
- Elevated neuron-specific enolase level(>100 ng/ml)
Urinalysis
- Elevated concentration of catecholamine levels
- Elevated Vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) level
- Elevated Homovanillic acid (HVA) level
