摘要
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) represents the key marker for the evaluation of growth hormone (GH) status. A large number of determinants, including age, gender, genetic factors, nutrition and disease states, influence IGF-1 serum levels. Accurate normative data are essential to translate patient data into diagnostic meaning or even use IGF-1 levels for adequate monitoring of patients with an over- or underactive GH axis. Even though reference ranges have been developed in large cohorts of healthy subjects, the dependency of these data on a given assay technology argues for assay specific normative data for IGF-1.
