OTHER DISORDERS

Accurate biochemical profiling is essential for early detection, risk stratification and longitudinal monitoring of diverse systemic, endocrine and metabolic disorders. The following biomarkers provide critical insights into organ function, hormonal regulation and underlying pathophysiology that cannot be captured through routine analytes alone.

1. Human Growth Hormone (HGH) 
An HGH (human growth hormone) test is recommended to diagnose or monitor growth hormone deficiency or excess, which can cause conditions like dwarfism or gigantism in children and acromegaly in adults. 

2. Cortisol
Cortisol testing evaluates adrenal cortex function and is essential for diagnosing adrenal insufficiency, hypercortisolism (Cushing’s syndrome) and stress-related endocrine disorders. 

3. ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone)
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a tropic hormone produced by the anterior pituitary. ACTH regulates cortisol and androgen production. ACTH test helps in diagnosis of diseases associated with ACTH include Addison disease, Cushing syndrome and Cushing disease. 

The following are key laboratory markers used to evaluate and diagnose other disorders:

•    HGH

•    Cortisol

•    ACTH
