Urine Test for Catecholamine Metabolite

The lab analyst measures the level of homovanillic acid, or HVA, typically in a urine specimen. HVA is the end product of the neurotransmitter dopamine’s metabolism and a metabolite of the hormone catecholamine. The adrenal gland, which is located on each kidney, produces catecholamine.
