Plasma norepinephrine(NE) epinephrine(E) concentrations in patients with five types of Gan syndromes and relative syndromes were determined. The healthy individuals served as control. The contents of NE and E in Ganyang Huafeng Zheng (5975.8 +- 305.6 pmol cntdot L-1, 2227.7 +- 12.57 pmol cntdot L-1) were significantly increased; Ganxue Xu Zheng (1100.4 +- 105.5, 451.2 +- 70.9 pmol cntdot L-1) were decreased, and lower than the normal controls. NE and E contents in both Ganyang Shangkang Zheng (3962.6 +- 354.4, 1225.6 +- 163.5 pmol cntdot L-1) and Ganhuo Shangyan Zheng (3398.1 +- 303.8, 1134.4 +- 146.9 pmol cntdot L-1) were increased remarkably, but there was no difference between them. Plasma NE, E concentrations can be considered as one of the comprehensive laboratory parameters in diagnosis of the four above mentioned Gan syndromes.
