The Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) Test is a blood test that measures the level of IGF-1, a hormone primarily produced in the liver in response to growth hormone (GH) stimulation.
IGF-1 plays a crucial role in growth, development, and cell repair. Abnormal levels of IGF-1 may indicate growth hormone disorders, such as growth hormone deficiency (leading to poor growth in children) or excess growth hormone (causing conditions like acromegaly in adults or gigantism in children).
The purpose of this test is to:
- Measure IGF-1 levels in the blood
- Assess growth hormone activity
- Diagnose growth hormone deficiency or excess
- Monitor treatment for growth disorders
