GHRHstimulaatiotestejä
GHRHstimulaatiotestejä, often translated as GHRH stimulation tests, are diagnostic procedures used to evaluate the pituitary gland's ability to produce growth hormone (GH). These tests involve administering growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) to a patient and then measuring the subsequent rise in GH levels in the blood. GHRH is a naturally occurring hormone produced in the hypothalamus that stimulates the anterior pituitary to release GH.
The primary purpose of a GHRH stimulation test is to differentiate between various causes of growth hormone
These tests are typically performed in a clinical setting under medical supervision. Blood samples are drawn
