IGF-1

The IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) test measures the level of IGF-1 in the blood, a hormone that plays a crucial role in growth and development. IGF-1 is primarily produced in the liver and is stimulated by growth hormone (GH). This test is particularly useful for evaluating growth hormone-related conditions, assessing growth disorders in children, and monitoring patients with pituitary tumors. Understanding IGF-1 levels can help guide treatment options and monitor responses to therapies aimed at normalizing growth hormone activity.
