The Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Serum Test is a blood test that checks how much human growth hormone (HGH) is in your blood. This hormone is made in the pituitary gland and helps with growth and development in children and regulates things like bone density and muscle mass in adults.
The test is used to diagnose conditions that result from having too much or too little HGH, like slow growth or puberty in children, or decreased bone density and muscle strength in adults. Your healthcare provider may also order this test if you are receiving GH treatment or have acromegaly.
Sometimes, your healthcare provider may order other tests along with the HGH Serum Test to get a more accurate picture of your HGH levels, such as an insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) blood test.
Please do not exercise prior to testing. It is best that your blood is taken in a rested state.
Note: Turn around times on results are an estimate and are not guaranteed. The lab may need additional time due to holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, etc. You can contact us to discuss when your results should be ready and we will contact the lab on your behalf immediately.
