- Children with growth issues: The Human Growth Hormone (HGH) test is commonly done on children who are not growing as expected. HGH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth and cell reproduction. If a child is not producing enough HGH, they may have growth issues that need to be addressed.
- Adults with pituitary gland issues: The HGH test may also be done on adults who have pituitary gland issues, such as a tumor or injury. The pituitary gland is responsible for producing HGH, so if there is an issue with the gland, it may result in low levels of HGH.
- Athletes and bodybuilders: The HGH test is sometimes used in the sports industry to detect the use of performance-enhancing drugs. HGH is sometimes used by athletes and bodybuilders to increase muscle mass and improve performance, but it is illegal to use HGH for these purposes without a prescription.
