The growth hormone stimulation test measures the ability of the body to produce GH. Blood is drawn several times through an IV. The first sample is typically drawn in the morning, followed by an administered dose of growth hormone stimulant, known to encourage an increase in GH production. Several more blood samples will be taken at regular intervals. The entire procedure usually takes between 2-5 hours.
