Book a Test- IGF-Panel 1

IGF-Panel 1 is a group of tests used to measure the levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in the blood. IGF-1 is a protein produced by the liver and other tissues that plays a crucial role in regulating growth and development. IGFBP-3 is a protein that binds to IGF-1 and helps to regulate its activity. The IGF-Panel 1 test is often used to diagnose and monitor growth hormone disorders, such as growth hormone deficiency or excess. Abnormal levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 can indicate a range of conditions, including growth hormone deficiency, acromegaly (a condition caused by excess growth hormone), and certain types of cancer. The test can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for growth hormone disorders.
