The IGF-I (Somatomedin-C) Test measures the levels of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-I) in the blood, a hormone influenced by growth hormone activity. It is commonly used to evaluate growth hormone disorders, such as gigantism or acromegaly, and to monitor growth in children and adults. This test is often prescribed to assess overall growth hormone activity and diagnose conditions related to abnormal growth patterns or hormonal imbalances.

High IGF-I Levels: May indicate conditions like gigantism, acromegaly, or tumors producing growth hormones. Low IGF-I Levels: Suggests growth hormone deficiency, malnutrition, or chronic kidney/liver disease. Conditions Monitored: Growth hormone imbalances Gigantism and acromegaly Growth delays in children Pituitary gland dysfunction It is advisable to consult an endocrinologist for result interpretation and treatment planning.
