Clinical Information (ข้อมูลทางคลินิก):
Vanillylmandelic acic (VMA) and Homovanillic acid (HVA) are degradation product of adernaline and norepirnephrine, respectively. 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) are degradation product of serotonin. They play a key role in the transmittion of impulses in the nervous system.
 
Reference Value (ค่าอ้างอิง):
Adults:
VMA = 1600 - 7300 microgram/24 h. 
HVA = 1800 - 6900 microgram/24 h
5-HIAA <8200 mg/24 h

Children: VMA and HVA refence value depend on age 
VMA:
Age Reference value
0-2 weeks 0 - 850   microgram/24 h
2 - 8 weeks 0 - 1300 microgram/24 h
2 - 6 months 0 - 1500 microgram/24 h
7 - 12 months 0 - 1700 microgram/24 h

Interpretation (การแปลผล):
High level of VMA and HVA was found in neuroendocrine tumors including neuroblastomas, pheochromocytoma and paraglanglioma. High level of 5-HIAA was found in serotonin producing tumor (carcinoids).
