normetanephrine and Sleep Apnea, Obstructive

normetanephrine has been researched along with Sleep Apnea, Obstructive in 4 studies

Normetanephrine: A methylated metabolite of norepinephrine that is excreted in the urine and found in certain tissues. It is a marker for tumors.

Sleep Apnea, Obstructive: A disorder characterized by recurrent apneas during sleep despite persistent respiratory efforts. It is due to upper airway obstruction. The respiratory pauses may induce HYPERCAPNIA or HYPOXIA. Cardiac arrhythmias and elevation of systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures may occur. Frequent partial arousals occur throughout sleep, resulting in relative SLEEP DEPRIVATION and daytime tiredness. Associated conditions include OBESITY; ACROMEGALY; MYXEDEMA; micrognathia; MYOTONIC DYSTROPHY; adenotonsilar dystrophy; and NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p395)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The workup included an endocrinological examination, which revealed a moderately elevated urine normetanephrine level, suggesting the possibility of a pheochromocytoma."3.80Obstructive sleep apnea and tricyclic antidepressant use presenting as a pseudopheochromocytoma in an active duty sailor: a case report. ( Brainard, T, 2014)
"Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) usually causes a reduction in blood pressure (BP), but several factors may interfere with its effects."2.76Blood pressure changes after automatic and fixed CPAP in obstructive sleep apnea: relationship with nocturnal sympathetic activity.
