IGF-1 W/ Z score

Why Take This Test? The IGF-1 with Z Score test measures the level of Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) in the blood and calculates the Z score to assess growth and development in relation to age and sex-specific norms. IGF-1 is an important hormone involved in growth regulation, produced in response to growth hormone stimulation.This test is particularly useful for evaluating growth disorders in children, monitoring growth hormone therapy, and assessing pituitary function. The combination of IGF-1 measurement and Z score helps clinicians better understand growth patterns and guide treatment decisions effectively.
