Insulin Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) Test

The Insulin Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) test is taken to measure the level of IGF-1 in the blood. IGF-1 is a hormone produced by the liver in response to growth hormone stimulation. It plays a crucial role in promoting growth and development, especially during childhood and adolescence.

This test is usually ordered to evaluate growth disorders in children, monitor growth hormone therapy, or diagnose conditions that affect growth hormone production. It can also be used to assess pituitary function, screen for acromegaly (excess growth hormone production), and monitor treatment effectiveness in patients with certain types of cancer.
