Quick answer
The IGF-1 Insulin Blood Test measures insulin-like growth factor 1, often called somatomedin C. IGF-1 is produced mostly by the liver in response to growth hormone, and it carries out many of growth hormone's effects on growth and metabolism. Because IGF-1 stays relatively stable through the day, it is often used instead of growth hormone to assess whether production is too high or too low.
What this test measures
Growth hormone is released by the pituitary in bursts, which makes it hard to interpret from a single sample. IGF-1 is produced in response to that hormone and remains steadier in the bloodstream, so it serves as a practical marker of growth hormone activity over time. Levels naturally rise during childhood and fall with age, and reference ranges are adjusted accordingly.
This test uses a blood sample, and results are reported as a concentration, usually in nanograms per milliliter. The laboratory compares the value with age and sex adjusted ranges. Providers sometimes pair IGF-1 with growth hormone, IGF-binding protein 3, or other pituitary markers to build a fuller picture of the pituitary axis.
IGF-1 testing may be ordered for a child with growth concerns, an adult with features suggesting acromegaly, or a person being followed for pituitary disease. It can also be affected by nutrition, liver disease, and other conditions, so it is not interpreted alone. A qualified healthcare provider should review the result with the person's history and other tests.
