    What is a Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) (Somatomedin C) Test?

    Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), also called somatomedin C, is a hormone in your blood that plays a key role in growth and development. It works closely with growth hormone (GH), which is produced by the pituitary gland. While GH levels change throughout the day, IGF-1 levels remain more stable, making it easier to measure GH activity. IGF-1 helps promote the growth of bones and tissues and also supports metabolism, which is how your body turns food into energy. The IGF-1 test measures the amount of this hormone in your blood and is often used to check for growth hormone disorders. These include conditions like growth hormone deficiency (which can slow growth in children and cause low bone density in adults), gigantism (caused by too much GH in children), and acromegaly (too much GH in adults, leading to enlarged bones and features). The test can help diagnose and manage these conditions, offering insights into your health.
