The Growth Hormone (GH) test is a blood test used to measure the level of growth hormone in the body. Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a vital role in stimulating growth and development in children and adolescents, as well as regulating metabolism and maintaining muscle and bone mass in adults. The GH test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions related to growth hormone deficiency or excess, such as pituitary gland disorders or acromegaly, a condition in which the body produces too much growth hormone. The test is also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for these conditions. A GH test may be ordered for children who are not growing at the expected rate or adults who are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, or decreased muscle mass. The GH test is a simple and non-invasive blood test that can provide important information for the diagnosis and management of growth hormone-related conditions.
