Laboratory diagnosis of pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma syndrome has been markedly improved during the past two decades.
Retrospective assessment of diagnostic utility of urinary catecholamines and their metabolites as well as serum chromogranin A in 155 patients diagnosed at the 2nd Department of Medicine, Semmelweis University.
Urinary catecholamines and metabolites were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection in 155 patients with pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma (of whom 28.4% had hereditary background) and in 170 non-pheochromocytoma patients used as controls. Serum chromogranin A was measured by immunoradiometry.
Sensitivity (93.2%) and specificity (87.0%) of urinary fractionated metanephrines were higher than those of urinary catecholamines (90.9% vs. 85.7%, respectively) and serum chromogranin A (88.7% and 77.5%, respectively). Urinary normetanephrine and serum chromogranin A correlated positively with tumor size (r = 0.552, p<0.0001 and r = 0.618, p<0.0001, respectively).
These data confirm the diagnostic utility of urinary catecholamines and their metabolites. Urinary normetanephrine and serum chromogranin A may help to estimate tumour mass and probably tumour progression.
在过去二十年中,嗜铬细胞瘤-副神经节瘤综合征的实验室诊断有了显著改善。
回顾性评估尿儿茶酚胺及其代谢产物以及血清嗜铬粒蛋白A在塞梅尔维斯大学第二医学部确诊的155例患者中的诊断效用。
采用高效液相色谱-电化学检测法测定155例嗜铬细胞瘤-副神经节瘤患者(其中28.4%有遗传背景)和170例作为对照的非嗜铬细胞瘤患者的尿儿茶酚胺及其代谢产物。采用免疫放射分析法测定血清嗜铬粒蛋白A。
尿分馏甲氧基肾上腺素的敏感性(93.2%)和特异性(87.0%)高于尿儿茶酚胺(分别为90.9%和85.7%)和血清嗜铬粒蛋白A(分别为88.7%和77.5%)。尿去甲氧基肾上腺素和血清嗜铬粒蛋白A与肿瘤大小呈正相关(r = 0.552,p<0.0001和r = 0.618,p<0.0001)。
这些数据证实了尿儿茶酚胺及其代谢产物的诊断效用。尿去甲氧基肾上腺素和血清嗜铬粒蛋白A可能有助于估计肿瘤大小以及可能的肿瘤进展情况。
