Catecholamine metabolites and creatinine panel
Catecholamines are a group of hormones made by your adrenal glands, two small glands located above your kidneys. Hormones act as chemical messengers in your bloodstream. They carry information that controls the actions of certain cells or organs. The main types of catecholamines are dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
