The IGF-I (Somatomedin-C) Test is a blood test that measures the level of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), also known as Somatomedin-C. IGF-1 is a hormone produced mainly in the liver in response to growth hormone (GH) stimulation.
This test is commonly used to evaluate growth hormone function. Abnormal IGF-1 levels may indicate conditions such as growth hormone deficiency (leading to delayed growth in children) or excess growth hormone (causing conditions like acromegaly or gigantism).
The purpose of this test is to:
- Measure IGF-1 (Somatomedin-C) levels in the blood
- Assess growth hormone activity
- Diagnose growth hormone deficiency or excess
- Monitor treatment for growth disorders
