چکیده

The urinary excretion of catecholamines in 13 close relatives of two distantly related patients with congenital neuroblastoma was investigated. One of these relatives was a child with already known ganglioneuroblastoma. The catecholamines noradrenaline and dopamine were determined. Vanilmandelic acid and homovanillic acid also were determined and numerous other catecholamine metabolites were measured. In contrast to some previous reports in the literature, no pathological excretion patterns were found in the healthy family members.

Liquid-chromatographic evaluation of age-related changes in the urinary excretion of free catecholamines in pediatric patients.

Pediatric patients (to age 18) without neuroblastoma show an age-related decrease in urinary excretion of each of the catecholamines--epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine--in relation to creatinine excretion. From these data, I have developed reference intervals for pediatric age groups. Application of these ranges to seven patients with neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma indicated a h...

Urinary cystathionine, catecholamine, and metabolites in patients with neuroblastoma.

Urinary excretions of cystathionine, catecholamines, and vanillymandelic acidwere compared in 27 patients with neuroblastoma and in nine other patients with non-neurogenic tumors. Eleven of the 27 patientswere withoutclinical evidence of activeneuroblastomaatthe time ofthe study and excretedno or relatively small amounts of urinarycystathionine. Thirteenof the remaining 16 patients with progres...

"Total" acidic metabolites of catecholamines in urine as determined by hydrolysis with hydriodic acid and liquid chromatography: application to patients with neuroblastoma and melanoma.

We describe a method for determining the "total" excretion of acidic metabolites of catecholamines by measuring 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) formed by hydriodic acid hydrolysis of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetic acid (HVA), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acid (VMA), and their conjugates. The DOPAC in the diluted hydrolysate is measured directly by liquid chromatography with electrochemic...

Ewing's Tumours and Neuroblastomas.

From a study of 59 cases of neuroblastoma and 21 patients classified as cases of Ewing's tumour there appear to be differences in age incidence, duration of disease, gross and microscopical appearance, and metastatic spread. The normal rate of excretion of catecholamines by patients with Ewing's tumour is an additional differentiating feature.
