. It is primarily conducted when there is suspicion of growth hormone deficiency or certain pituitary disorders.
During the test, the patient is given a substance that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. The most common stimulation agents used are insulin-induced hypoglycemia (insulin tolerance test) and Arginine/GHRH (growth hormone-releasing hormone) test. These tests typically involve the administration of insulin or a combination of Arginine and GHRH through injection.
The purpose of the stimulation test is to evaluate the pituitary gland's response to these stimulants, thereby measuring the release and production of growth hormone in the blood. Blood samples are taken at specific time intervals before and after the stimulation to assess the hormone levels at different stages of the test.
The results of the stimulation test help in determining if the pituitary gland is functioning properly and whether there is a deficiency in growth hormone production. These tests are particularly useful in children with growth disorders, individuals with suspected pituitary dysfunction, or in certain cases of adult growth hormone deficiency.
