Epinephrine
Explanation: Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a hormone made by adrenal glands (small organs above the kidneys). It’s released when the body is under stress situation, preparing the body for vigorous action by increasing heart rate, dilating air passages, raising blood sugar for energy, and improving blood flow to the muscles.
Test purpose:
- Detects adrenal gland conditions like pheochromocytoma which can cause excessive epinephrine production.
- Evaluate stress response.
- Doctors often test epinephrine levels if someone has unexplained high blood pressure, heart palpitations, headaches, sweating, or anxiety to determine if hormone imbalances are the cause.
