Human growth hormone (HGH) is crucial for growth, cell regeneration, and metabolism. Common deficiency signs include: decreased muscle mass and strength, increased body fat, poor recovery from exercise, low mood and energy, reduced bone density, and impaired immunity.
Diagnosis involves blood tests to measure IGF-1 and growth hormone levels, often after stimulation tests. MRI scans help rule out pituitary tumors. A thorough history, exam, and review of symptoms are also key.
