What is Growth Hormone (GH) Test?

Growth hormone (GH) tests are blood tests that determine whether your body produces an adequate amount of GH. GH, also known as human growth hormone, is a hormone that regulates the growth of your body. It also aids in the regulation of metabolism, the process by which your body uses food and energy. The pituitary gland, a small organ at the base of the brain, produces GH.

In children, GH is important for bone growth, muscle mass development, and height. In adults, GH has an impact on bone and muscle health. Too much or too little GH in children or adults can cause health problems.
