Growth Hormone (GH) (IA0080)

Description

Growth Hormone (GH) is a blood test used to measure the level of growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland. GH plays a vital role in growth, metabolism, and tissue repair. This test is used to evaluate growth disorders in children (short stature or gigantism), diagnose acromegaly in adults, and assess pituitary gland function. Because GH is secreted in pulses, testing may require stimulation or suppression studies for accurate interpretation.
