Growth Hormone Price in Bangladesh

What is Growth Hormone?

Growth Hormone (GH) is a peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a crucial role in growth, metabolism, and cell repair. It stimulates growth in children and adolescents and helps maintain muscle mass, bone density, and tissue health in adults.

GH levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day and increase during sleep, exercise, and stress. Abnormal GH levels can indicate conditions like growth hormone deficiency (causing stunted growth or muscle loss) or acromegaly (excess GH leading to abnormal bone growth).

GH disorders are typically diagnosed through blood tests, stimulation or suppression tests, and imaging studies. Treatment may involve GH therapy for deficiencies or medications and surgery for excess production.

What to expect & how to prepare

Growth Hormone is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Growth Hormone result rather than self-diagnosing.
