What does this test IGF Binding Protein-3 Test identify?

IGF Binding Protein-3 Test Identification

The IGF Binding Protein-3 test measures the level of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 in the blood. This protein is produced by the liver and plays a crucial role in regulating the activity of insulin-like growth factor (IGF). IGF is a hormone that promotes cell growth and division.

High levels of IGF Binding Protein-3 may indicate conditions such as growth hormone deficiency, liver disease, or malnutrition. Low levels of this protein may be associated with conditions like acromegaly or certain types of cancer.

Overall, the IGF Binding Protein-3 test helps in identifying potential issues related to growth regulation and can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of various health conditions.

Why is this test IGF Binding Protein-3 Test taken?

The IGF Binding Protein-3 Test is taken to measure the level of Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 in the blood. This test is often ordered along with other hormone tests to evaluate growth hormone production and function in the body.

IGF Binding Protein-3 is a protein that binds to Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and helps regulate its activity. Abnormal levels of IGF Binding Protein-3 can indicate disorders such as growth hormone deficiency, acromegaly, or other conditions affecting growth and development.
