The growth hormone (GH) marker Insulin-like growth factor-1, which is measured by this test, is present in the blood. The growth hormone encourages the development of tissues and bones. Adults who have higher GH levels may also experience deep husky voices, larger-than-normal facial features, excessive perspiration, bone thickening, irregular menstrual cycles in women, and erectile dysfunction in men. Giving GH supplements helps address low GH levels. Higher GH levels are a symptom of pituitary tumours as well as gigantism and acromegaly in children and adults, respectively. One of the several hormones generated by the endocrine gland in your brain is growth hormone (GH). It is also known as somatotropin or human growth hormone (HGH). Human growth and development are significantly influenced by GH, particularly in children and teenagers. Children and adults can experience health issues from GH levels that are either too high or too low. Your doctor will often start by ordering tests to gauge the level of GH in your blood if they have any reason to believe that your body is also creating too little or too much GH.
