Test Details
The Growth Disorder Panel Test is a diagnostic test used to evaluate and diagnose growth disorders in children and adolescents. It is a comprehensive panel that includes various hormone and genetic tests to assess the underlying causes of abnormal growth. The panel typically includes tests for:
- Growth hormone (GH): Measures the level of growth hormone in the blood. Low levels may indicate growth hormone deficiency, while high levels may suggest excess production of growth hormone.
- Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1): Evaluates the level of IGF-1, which is a hormone that is regulated by growth hormone. Low levels may indicate growth hormone deficiency.
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (T4): Tests thyroid function to rule out hypothyroidism, which can cause growth problems.
- Bone age assessment: X-rays of the left hand and wrist are taken to compare the skeletal development with the chronological age. Differences may indicate growth disorders.
- Genetic testing: This may include tests for specific genetic mutations associated with growth disorders, such as Turner syndrome or Noonan syndrome.
- Other hormone tests: Additional tests may be performed to evaluate the levels of other hormones involved in growth, such as cortisol, testosterone, estrogen, and luteinizing hormone.
The Growth Disorder Panel Test helps identify the underlying cause of growth disorders, which can include conditions like growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, genetic syndromes, or other hormonal imbalances. The results of this panel test help guide appropriate treatment options, such as growth hormone therapy, hormone replacement therapy, or other interventions to address the specific cause of the growth disorder.
