Beschreibung

Homovanillic acid sulfate sodium salt (HVA) is a metabolite of dopamine that is used to diagnose or monitor diseases related to the central nervous system. The HVA concentration in urine can be determined by colorimetric assay, which has been shown to be useful for identifying patients with Parkinson's disease and other degenerative diseases. HVA is also found in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, as well as in many other body tissues. HVA levels are increased during pregnancy, because it is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of estradiol from testosterone. In addition, concentrations of HVA increase with age, due to decreased clearance rates.
