A physician may recommend the Growth Hormone (GH) if you are experiencing general symptoms such as persistent fatigue, unexplained changes in weight or metabolism, or as part of a routine health screening. It is also used to monitor the effectiveness of ongoing medical treatments.

Preparation requirements vary depending on the specific test parameters. For most blood-based diagnostic tests, fasting for 8 to 12 hours (no food or drink except water) is recommended. Please consult your physician or contact our support team for exact guidelines.

This test measures specific chemical compounds, cellular structures, or hormonal levels in your sample to provide diagnostic indicators for metabolic or systemic health.
Most routine test results are processed and delivered securely to you within 24 to 48 hours from the time of sample collection.
Fasting guidelines depend on the individual biomarkers. It is highly recommended to confirm the requirements with the lab coordinator when booking.

This test is done to measure growth hormone levels produced by the pituitary gland. GH plays an important role in growth during childhood and also influences metabolism, muscle mass, and fat distribution in adults. Abnormal levels may indicate growth hormone deficiency, excess production, or pituitary gland disorders.

  • If there are signs of growth disorders in children.
  • If acromegaly is suspected in adults (enlarged hands, feet, facial features).
  • If unexplained fatigue, weakness, or changes in body composition occur.
  • If a healthcare provider is evaluating pituitary gland function.
  • Fasting may be required depending on the protocol.
  • GH levels vary throughout the day, so timing or stimulation/suppression testing may be needed.
  • Inform your healthcare provider about medications affecting hormones.
  • Follow any instructions provided by the laboratory or healthcare provider.
