Test ID: IGFP
Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) and Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3 (IGFBP-3) Growth Panel

Secondary ID A test code used for billing and in test definitions created prior to November 2011

83357

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

This is the preferred test for assessing growth hormone-related disorders (eg, growth disorders, including acromegaly and gigantism; adult growth hormone deficiency) and for monitoring recombinant growth hormone treatment.

 

Measurement of both insulin-like growth factor 1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 appears superior to determining either analyte alone, for all clinical applications.
