Interpreting Catecholamine Levels

Recommended Posts

I have an appointment with a geneticist in two days to look into whether I could have a partial DBH deficiency. I needed my catecholamine results from my TTT so I spoke with a nurse who faxed them in. On the phone she reported that my epiniphrine had been normal/normal/high (0.4/0.2/20.2 with the normal being <0.8) while my norepinephrine was low/normal/high (0.6/2.2/9.2 with normal 0.8-3.4). Can anyone explain to me what these results might mean or their implications? Does the high final level suggest hyperadrenergic POTS? I don't have an appointment with the autonomic specialist for another couple of months, and when I see him will most likely forget most of what I am trying to ask, like I always seem to do when I finally get to see a doctor about this stuff.
