Growth Disorder Panel Test
Introduction
The Growth Disorder Panel Test is a crucial diagnostic tool designed to evaluate the levels of growth hormones in the body. This test is particularly important for identifying disorders related to growth in both children and adults. Growth disorders can significantly impact physical development, and early detection is key to managing these conditions effectively.
What the Test Measures
This test measures three critical components related to growth:
- Growth Hormone
- IGFBP-3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3)
- IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1)
These hormones play vital roles in regulating growth and development, and abnormalities in their levels can indicate potential growth disorders.

- Children with delayed growth or development

Risk factors include a family history of growth disorders or endocrine issues.
