The Mean

There is increase in the daily urinary excretion of dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E), and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxymandelic acid (VMA) with age. The mean output in micrograms per 24 hours for various age groups is as follows: birth to 1 year-DA 60.9 (± 24.3), NE 10.6 (± 3.4), E 1.3 (± 1.2), VMA 569 (± 309); 1 through 5 years—DA 124.1 (± 40.7), NE (18.8 ± 7.0), E 3.2 (± 2.7), VMA 1348 (± 433); 6 through 15 years—DA 169.3 (± 72.6), NE 37.4 (± 16.6), E 4.8 (± 2.4), VMA 2373 (± 698); over 15 years—DA 249.1 (± 74.9), NE 50.7 (± 15.7), E 7.1 (± 3.3), VMA 3192 (± 699). The studies suggest that the daily output of these compounds in the various age groups is similar when related to body surface area after infancy.

Superior Pole

Urinary catecholamine excretion was measured in a 4-year-old child with neuroblastoma arising from the right adrenal. Initially urinary dopamine and norepinephrine output was high. Because the tumor was inoperable a course of radiation therapy and chemotherapy was given. Following this treatment catecholamine excretion decreased but never reached normal levels. Although there was no clinical evidence of persistent tumor, the elevated urinary output of dopamine and norepinephrine indicated residual neuroblastoma. Therefore surgical exploration was performed and tumor was found overlying the superior pole of the right kidney. After removal of this persistent neuroblastoma the urinary excretion of catecholamines returned to normal and remained at this level. The child has no evidence of recurrent disease and appears healthy. To our knowledge this represents the first reported case wherein the indication for surgical removal of residual neuroblastoma was based solely on elevated output of urinary catecholamines.

Adrenocortical Response

There have been a number of studies attempting to quantify anxiety under stress, using biochemical measures such as plasma Cortisol concentration and urinary catecholamine excretion as concomitants of the emotional response. A limitation of some of this work has been the lack of predictable and adequate stresses studied, which have included disturbing interviews (Bliss et al., 1956), admission to hospital and anticipation of operation (Mason, 1959), stressful films (Levi, 1965) and hypnotically induced anxiety (Persky et at., 1959).

Altitude Exposure

Urinary catecholamine excretion was estimated in 50 lowlanders temporarily staying at altitudes above 3,000 m. They were divided in subgroups according to the length of their continuous stay. For comparison, 25 highlanders who were born and brought up at high altitude and 50 lowlanders who had never been to altitudes of more than 1,000 m were also studied. High catecholamine excretion was noted in temporary residents staying at high altitude for up to 30 days as compared to that in lowlanders (P greater than 0.01). The excretion rate gradually returned to basal values thereafter. Catecholamines were essentially similar in lowlanders and highlanders. The significance of these findings is discussed regarding the possible pathogenetic role of the sympathoadrenal system in the development of ill effects in respone to high-altitude exposure.
