Labs - Testing Procedures

The first step in any hormone replacement program is to get a full panel of lab work before seeing the physician and a complete health form. Thes tests include blood tests completed stateside or here in Mexico, and a urinary Growth Hormone test. completed upon arrival. This will ensure a safe customized therapy for each patient. On blood panel testing Level II, these include testosterone testing.

Urinary HGH Lab Panel

Urinary Growth Hormone Test
HGH Medical Clinic requests a urinary Growth Hormone test upon arrival in our clinic, which is an accurate way to measure your Human Growth Hormone levels. HGH testing is ideally suited for measurement in urine, as the “time-average” affect of urine collection integrates spikes that occur with this hormone throughout the day. It also provides the convenience of a non-invasive collection. This test is the ideal compliment to the standard IGF-1 which is the indirect marker for HGH. Determining your current human growth hormone level is the first step in the HGH hormone treatment process.

Used in our practice since 1993, the urinary Human Growth Hormone test is a well validated assessment for the “Total Output” of HGH, integrating the spikes that occur with this hormone throughout the day, with the convenience of a single urine collection upon awakening, this urinary Growth Hormone test emphasizes the “Peak Output” of hGH by capturing the two most important surges: during sleep and early morning output.
