What does it mean when your Human Growth Hormone is elevated? |
I have Hashimoto's disease/hypo-thyroidism and when my blood tests came back recently, they found that the Human Growth Hormone was slightly elevated. The doctor didn't really explain it, and I was just wondering what caused it, and if it should be of concern, thanks Hello...growth hormone is produced directly by the pituitary gland. If HGH it is elevated then pituitary tumors or cysts should be investigated as a possible cause. Your Dr. should be doing other testing to see if other hormones are off also. The fact that you have Hashimotos can be deceiving to Drs...I had Hashimotos AND a pituitary problem but both were misdiagnosed because together it through my TSH (thyroid) tests off. If your Dr. is going solely on TSH to say the pituitary is ok, he could be missing it. In any case, if you are not seeing an endocrinologist you should see one with pituitary expertise. This site has good Dr. listings: www.pituitary.org and this one is good for looking at possible pituitary symptoms: http://www.goodhormonehealth.com/symptom... Growth Hormone, a polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland that regulates tissue growth, cellular repair, energy levels, fat loss, and muscle growth, is the latest advance in bodybuilding supplementation! Growth Hormone (GH) is the master hormone, because the master gland, the anterior pituitary gland, releases it. While GH is not necessary or critical to one's survival, it seems to play an important evolutionary role in human development. During puberty, GH levels dictate a person's height and bone size. After puberty, GH continues to regulate the body's metabolism. Depending on how elevated it is, you may need more testing. I am not sure if your doctor is a GP or an endocrinologist, but if you are not seeing and endocrinologist, you should. You already have one hormonal issue and since the growth hormone is secreted from the pituitary, then it is possible that you may have pituitary condition as well. Having one hormone out of balance is generally a problem with that gland, but since you have an abnormality with a pituitary hormone, that could also be the source for your glandular abnormality. |
