| description | The goal of the postural panels is to find out if the adrenal gland is sensing the posture change and secreting increased levels of catecholamines appropriately during the transition from supine to standing. This can help to diagnose syndromes of inherited and acquired autonomic dysfunction or autonomic neuropathies which may show insufficient release of catecholamines. On the other end of the spectrum are pheochromocytomas and various neuroectodermal tumors which exhibit unregulated release of one or more catecholamines. | ||

| property | MCnc = Mass Concentration | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Plas = Plasma | ||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
