Human Growth Hormone Description:

Normal levels of growth hormone (GH) change during the day so other tests may be done to confirm the results of a GH test. Other tests can show whether low levels of GH (which can be normal) mean the pituitary gland is not working correctly.

IGF-1 blood levels are often done at the same time as a GH test. A high level of IGF-1 with a high level of GH generally means acromegaly is present. In this case, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is done to look at the pituitary gland. To learn more, see the topic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Head.

The growth hormone suppression test (also called the glucose loading test) measures the level of GH in the blood before and after a person drinks fluid with a large amount of sugar (glucose) in it. Normally, the amount of GH drops to less than 1 ng/mL after drinking the glucose. Levels of GH that stay high may mean acromegaly is present.

The growth hormone stimulation test measures the level of GH in the blood before and after insulin or arginine is given in a vein (intravenously) in the arm. No detectable growth hormone can be found for people with normal pituitary function. A growth hormone stimulation test may be used to see if a person lacks GH. Normally, the amount of GH increases after insulin or arginine. A GH level that does not increase after the insulin or arginine is given may mean the person lacks growth hormone.

A growth hormone (GH) test measures the amount of human growth hormone (GH) in the blood. GH is made by the pituitary gland and is needed for growth. It plays an important role in how the body uses food for energy (metabolism). The amount of GH in the blood changes during the day and is affected by exercise, sleep, emotional stress, and diet.

Too much GH during childhood can cause a child to grow taller than normal (gigantism). Too little GH during childhood can cause a child to grow less than normal (dwarfism). Both conditions can be treated if found early.

In adults, too much GH is caused by a noncancerous tumor of the pituitary gland (adenoma). Too much GH can cause bones of the face, jaw, hands, and feet to grow larger than normal (acromegaly).

Growth hormone can cause the release of other substances (factors) that affect growth and metabolism. One of these is insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). When the GH level is very high, the IGF-1 level is also very high. A test for IGF-1 may also be done to confirm high GH levels.
