What is Human Growth Hormone Test

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) test is a blood test that measures the amount of HGH in the blood. The test is performed by drawing blood from a vein in the arm and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The test is usually ordered to diagnose growth hormone deficiency or excess, monitor treatment for these conditions, or diagnose pituitary gland disorders. Results are typically available within a few days.

Who should do this test?

• 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.

What to do if the test is abnormal?

• Consult with an endocrinologist: An endocrinologist is a specialist who deals with the hormonal system of the body. If the results of the Human Growth Hormone test are abnormal, it is advisable to consult an endocrinologist who can guide further testing and interpret the results properly.
• Follow up with additional tests: Human Growth Hormone levels can be affected by various factors such as stress, exercise, and sleep. Therefore, it is important to follow up with additional tests to confirm the diagnosis. Some of these tests may include the insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) test, provocative testing, and MRI of the pituitary gland.
• Discuss treatment options with the healthcare provider: Depending on the cause and severity of the abnormal results, there may be various treatment options available. These may include medications, hormone replacement therapy, or surgery. It is important to discuss these options with the healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for the individual.
