Glucose: Hyperglycemia (DM is the precipitating factors of hypertension) may be caused by increased levels of ketokolamin (increased hypertension). c. Calcium serum: Increased levels of calcium may increase hypertension. d. VMA urine (metabolites ketokolamin): The increase may indicate the presence of phaeochromocytoma (cause); 24-hour urinary VMA can be done to assess if hypertension intermittent phaeochromocytoma. e.
