Growth Hormone Test

Growth Hormone (GH) tests are crucial for understanding why some children and adults may not be growing as expected. These tests help doctors determine if the body is producing enough growth hormone, essential for normal growth. In some cases, doctors perform specific tests that either stimulate or suppress the release of this hormone. These tests, known as stimulation and suppression tests, often provide more accurate insights than random hormone level checks, helping to pinpoint the exact nature of the growth issue.
