A member asked:
I have blood count with differential could they help reveal or diagnose a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A blood count with a differential reveals the make up of the WBC system indicating the total white blood cell count, how many are polys and how many lymphocytes. To define the presence of a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma which are adrenal lesions, one has to measure products derived from adrenal tissue, that is the adrenal like substances that are vASOActive.
