Overview

laboratory findings of neuroblastoma include increased level ferritin, catecholamine, dopamine, vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), homovanillic acid (HVA), lactate dehydrogenase and neuron-specific enolase levels. There are increased urinary catecholamine, vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) levels.
