    What is a Growth Hormone Test?

    A Growth Hormone (GH) test measures the level of growth hormone in the blood, which is essential for growth and metabolism. GH is produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. This hormone plays a key role in regulating body growth, muscle development, and the way the body utilizes energy from food. In children, GH is vital for normal growth and height. Insufficient GH levels can lead to slower growth, resulting in shorter stature compared to peers. Conversely, excessive GH in children can cause a condition known as gigantism, characterised by significantly increased height and larger hands and feet. In adults, elevated GH levels can lead to acromegaly, a condition that causes enlargement of bones in the hands, feet, and face, resulting in noticeable changes in appearance. The GH test is essential for diagnosing these conditions and guiding appropriate treatment options.

    If you're in Bangalore and notice symptoms like slowed growth in children or abnormal bone enlargement in adults, consider booking a Growth Hormone test to help diagnose and manage potential GH disorders.

    Why Take the Growth Hormone Test?
