Abstract
Details of uniform procedures for the routine determination of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and dopamine in urine are given. The first two compounds are determined by a trihydroxyindole method; for dopamine, a modification of the method of Carlsson and Waldeck is used. Determination of adrenaline and noradrenaline is illustrated using three different types of fluorometer. Normal values for the 24-hour excretion of these compounds in the urine of normal adults are in micrograms: adrenaline, 16.4 μg ± 1.1, noradrenaline, 54.9 μg ± 3.2, dopamine, 198.8 μg ± 36.2 (mean ± standard error). Some examples of the levels of catecholamine excretion in various clinical states are given.Keywords
