Test Details:
The Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH) test is a medical test used to measure the levels of GHRH in the body. GHRH is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus that stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone (GH). The GHRH test is usually done to diagnose growth hormone deficiency or excess. It is also used to monitor the effectiveness of growth hormone therapy in individuals with GH deficiency.
During the test, a healthcare provider will take a blood sample from the patient. The patient will be asked to fast for a certain period of time before the test, usually overnight. The blood sample will be tested for the levels of GHRH and other hormones such as GH, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and cortisol. The results of the GHRH test can help determine if the patient has a deficiency or excess of GH. If the levels of GHRH are low, it may indicate a deficiency of GH. If the levels of GHRH are high, it may indicate an excess of GH.
The GHRH test is a safe and non-invasive procedure. However, it may cause some discomfort or pain when the blood sample is taken. Patients should discuss any concerns or questions with their healthcare provider before the test.
