How to Test the Presence of HGH in the Body?
A blood test can be performed to identify the presence of the Human Growth Hormone in the body, if the hormone has been administered within 48 hours. If not performed immediately, the hormone goes undetected. Scientists in the US and Italy have come forward with a non-invasive technique of testing this hormone by a urine test.
The first case of doping was detected in a British professional rugby player, Terry Newton. United Kingdom anti-doping agency has banned him for 2 years from sports. He was accused of taking HGH. This was detected through a blood test. It has been accepted, till recently, that urine tests for this hormone are also useful to detect the administration of the bio-synthetic form. But, the project handled by Ceres Nanosciences was at last closed, stating that it is difficult to detect the hormone through urine test.
Testing of this hormone needs to be done, not only for anti-doping purposes, but also to judge and analyze the extent of recovery of a GHD (growth hormone deficiency) patient. To make the test accurate, the patient is requested to stay inactive for a few hours (i.e. not exert himself), and not take any medications, especially, estrogen-supplements before the test. If they’ve taken any, they are advised to reveal the truth to the physician before they are tested for this hormone. This is done to ensure that the HGH levels that are going to be detected have not been interfered by exercise or other hormones.
Blood is collected from the patient over several days, in order to observe the changes in the hormone levels. On an average, men are supposed to have between 0-5 ng/ml of HGH, while women have between 0-10 ng/ml and children have between 0-16 ng/ml of the human growth hormone.
