Quick answer
The Growth Hormone Level Test is a blood test that measures growth hormone, a pituitary hormone that drives growth and influences metabolism. Growth hormone is released in bursts, mainly during sleep, so a single measurement must be interpreted carefully. The test is usually ordered as part of a broader evaluation that may include IGF-1 and, in some cases, dynamic testing of the pituitary gland.
What this test measures
Growth hormone, also called somatotropin, is produced by the pituitary gland and acts on many tissues. It supports linear growth in children and helps regulate body composition, muscle, bone, and glucose metabolism in adults. Too little or too much growth hormone can cause distinct patterns of symptoms, which is why it is measured when a disorder is suspected.
Because growth hormone is released in pulses rather than at a steady level, a random blood sample may be low or high without indicating a real problem. Laboratories often compare the result with a reference range, and providers may order stimulation or suppression testing to see how the pituitary responds under controlled conditions. IGF-1 is frequently measured as a steadier indicator of growth hormone activity.
This test may be ordered for a child whose growth is slower or faster than expected, for an adult with features suggesting growth hormone excess or deficiency, or during follow-up of pituitary disease. Results are interpreted with age, sex, symptoms, other hormone levels, and imaging when relevant. A qualified healthcare provider should make the diagnosis and discuss any next steps.
