Beschreibung

(+/-)-3-Methoxymandelic Acid is a metabolite of the amino acid tyrosine. It is formed in the liver and kidneys, and can be found in urine as well as blood samples. The (+) form of 3-methoxymandelic acid is considered to be diagnostic for pheochromocytoma, a tumor that releases large amounts of catecholamines such as dopamine and noradrenaline into the blood stream. A high concentration of this metabolite in urine may indicate renal disease or dietary changes.
