Test Details:
The IGF (Insulin-like Growth Factor) and Growth Hormone Panel test is a blood test that measures the levels of IGF and growth hormone in the body. IGF is a hormone that is produced by the liver in response to growth hormone stimulation. It is responsible for promoting growth and development in children and adolescents, as well as regulating metabolism and tissue repair in adults. Growth hormone, on the other hand, is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a crucial role in stimulating the production of IGF. It is essential for normal growth and development, as well as regulating body composition, muscle and bone growth, and metabolism.
The IGF and Growth Hormone Panel test is typically used to evaluate growth disorders in children, monitor treatment for growth hormone deficiency or excess, assess pituitary function, and diagnose certain conditions such as acromegaly (excessive growth hormone production) or dwarfism (insufficient growth hormone production).
During the test, a healthcare provider will draw a blood sample from the patient’s vein, usually from the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis, where the levels of IGF and growth hormone are measured. The results of the test can help healthcare providers determine if there are any abnormalities in the production or function of these hormones, and guide further diagnosis and treatment.
