IGF-1 (Somatomedin C)
What's Included?
There is no special preparation for this test.
IGF-1 is measured to help diagnose the cause of growth abnormalities and to evaluate pituitary function. This test, while generally ordered in children suspected of GH abnormalities, may also be used in adults with GH deficiency.
IGF-1 may be used to monitor the effectiveness of this therapy at regular intervals for years afterward to monitor GH production and to detect tumor recurrence. IGF-1 testing may be ordered, along with a GH stimulation test, when a child has symptoms of GH deficiency, such as a slowed growth rate and short stature.
IGF-1 also is ordered at regular intervals when a patient is undergoing the drug and/or radiation therapy that frequently follow tumor surgery. IGF-1 levels may be ordered at regular intervals for many years to monitor a patient’s GH production and to watch for pituitary tumor recurrence.
