About the Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) Test

The Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) test is a specialized blood test that measures the level of IGF-1, a hormone produced primarily by the liver in response to growth hormone (GH) stimulation, serving as a crucial marker for evaluating growth hormone activity, pituitary function, and overall metabolic health. For residents of Delhi, this test is particularly valuable in diagnosing and evaluating growth hormone deficiency in children and adults, acromegaly (excess growth hormone in adults), gigantism (excess growth hormone in children), pituitary tumors or disorders affecting GH production, delayed or early puberty, unexplained growth abnormalities, muscle weakness, fatigue, bone density issues, metabolic disorders, and insulin resistance, helping physicians identify the underlying causes of symptoms such as abnormal growth patterns, short stature in children, enlarged hands and feet in adults, joint pain, facial changes, persistent fatigue, decreased muscle mass, or unexplained weight changes, and develop appropriate treatment strategies including growth hormone therapy, pituitary management, lifestyle modifications, or further diagnostic evaluations for optimal growth, metabolic function, and overall wellness management.With Seviyaar, Delhi residents can access NABL-certified laboratories that maintain strict quality standards for accurate diagnostic results.
