How is it HGH test done?
More than one blood sample must be taken on different days, due to rapid changing levels of growth hormone. A test measuring IGF-1 levels may be taken in conjunction, as its levels change much slower. Before blood is drawn, the administering health professional should be informed of any disorders or medication being taken which can lead to bleeding at the site of the puncture.

Results of the test usually vary from lab to lab. The basic guideline followed is: For Men 0-5 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter), women 0-10 ng/ml, and children 0-16 ng/ml. Above normal values on these test results mean above normal levels of HGH. These higher levels may indicate giantism or acromegaly, which are caused by GH producing adenomas or tumors in the pituitary. Such conditions are associated with an increase in IGF-1 levels as well. Increased levels of HGH can also be the result of conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, even starvation. Unlike giantism and acromegaly, these illnesses are not related increased levels of IGF-1.

There are several methods used to determine whether hormone levels are normal or are causing a problem. Some examples are: growth hormone suppression tests, which measure GH levels before and after consumption of large amounts of sugar. Following a large sugar intake, levels should be low, if they continue to be high, acromegaly could be the problem. The growth hormone stimulation test measures GH levels before and after insulin is introduced. Post insulin growth hormone levels should, under normal circumstances, be higher if not, the patient may have to be treated for a GH deficiency.

Science continues to develop new more accurate tests in order to diagnose illnesses associated with growth hormone abnormalities. Until one test can be developed that can give us all the answers, scientists and physicians continue to employ multiple methods to ensure accuracy.
