The analysis of urinary catecholamine metabolites is a cornerstone of neuroblastoma diagnostics. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the sampling method, and variable combinations of catecholamine metabolites are being used. We investigated if spot urine samples can be reliably used for analysis of a panel of catecholamine metabolites for the diagnosis of neuroblastoma.

Spot urine samples can be reliably used for analyzing a panel of catecholamine metabolites for neuroblastoma diagnosis, with no consensus on sampling method.
