CONTEXT: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased nocturnal sympathetic activity. In OSA patients, elevations in metanephrines may lead to false-positive tests when evaluating for pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (PPGL).
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether morning plasma metanephrines would lead to fewer false-positive results than 24-hour urinary metanephrines in OSA patients.
METHODS: Patients undergoing polysomnography for suspected OSA were recruited. Plasma free and 24-hour urinary metanephrines were measured by HPLC-MS/MS. Patients with elevated levels had repeat measurements, abdominal imaging, and follow-up to diagnose or exclude a PPGL.
RESULTS: Seventy-six patients completed polysomnography and biochemical testing; 68 (89.5%) patients had OSA, of whom 19 (27.9%) had elevated plasma and/or urinary metanephrines. On follow-up, one patient had a bladder paraganglioma, while PPGL was excluded in the remaining patients. OSA patients had more false-positive urinary metanephrines (17 of 67, 25.4%) than plasma metanephrines (2 of 67, 3.0%), P < .01, and this was more common in severe OSA (13 of 34, 38.2%), compared to moderate/mild OSA (4 of 33, 12.1%), P < .01. Both plasma and urinary metanephrines decreased after treatment with continuous positive airway pressure. On multivariable analysis, severe OSA, obesity, and family history of hypertension were positive predictors for false-positive urinary metanephrines in patients with suspected OSA.
CONCLUSION: In OSA patients, plasma metanephrines are less likely to yield false-positive results for the diagnosis of PPGL than 24-hour urinary metanephrines. In patients with suspected OSA, obesity, or a family history of hypertension, plasma metanephrines may be the preferred first-line test to avoid unnecessary anxiety or follow-up.
