Growth hormone (GH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration. As we age, our bodies typically produce less growth hormone. Low growth hormone levels in adults is medically defined as less than the normal range for a person's age and gender.
Some potential signs and symptoms of low GH levels include:
Causes of growth hormone deficiency can include:
If low GH levels are suspected, a medical evaluation would typically include blood tests to measure IGF-1 and GH levels directly. Provocative GH stimulation tests may also be used to diagnose GH deficiency.
If low GH is confirmed, treatment usually involves daily injections of biosynthetic human growth hormone (somatropin) to restore normal levels. Though results vary by individual, human growth hormone therapy can help improve many of the symptoms linked to growth hormone deficiency.
