This test helps diagnose GH-related disorders such as Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD), Acromegaly, Gigantism, pituitary tumors etc. This test is available at an affordable price in Mumbai with Tata 1mg labs.

The Growth Hormone test is often used to diagnose conditions caused by GH deficiency or excess. Deficiency of GH can cause a lowered production of pituitary hormones (hypopituitarism). Excess GH is most often due to a pituitary tumor (usually benign) that produces GH. It helps assess pituitary gland function, identify underlying conditions and monitor treatment response.
