Growth hormone stimulation testing is taken into consideration when the diagnosis of growth hormone deficit (GHD) is entertained following a period of monitoring, evaluating    and screening. Despite their flaws, growth hormone stimulation tests are nevertheless an integral aspect of a thorough assessment of growth and are crucial for identifying GH (growth hormone) deficiency. Results are affected by factors such testing duration, growth hormone assay    and diagnostic cut off. Beyond the inherent problems with testing, patient factors can affect the outcomes of GH stimulation testing. Age, gender, puberty, nutritional state    and body weight are only a few of the variables that affect GH secretion.
