Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in growth, cell repair, and metabolism. It stimulates the growth of bones and muscles, promotes protein synthesis, and helps regulate fat distribution in the body. HGH also helps control the function of various organs and tissues.

The HGH test is used to evaluate the production of growth hormone and diagnose conditions like:

• Growth hormone deficiency (in children and adults, leading to stunted growth or metabolic issues).
• Acromegaly (excessive growth hormone production, often due to pituitary tumors, leading to enlarged hands, feet, and facial features).
• Pituitary disorders affecting hormone secretion.

HGH levels are typically higher during childhood and adolescence and decrease with age.
