Couldn't load pickup availability
The IGFBP-3 Test in Pune measures Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3, a protein that regulates the availability of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in the bloodstream. Growth hormone activity refers to the hormonal regulation of growth, metabolism, and tissue repair. IGFBP-3 levels provide stable insight into growth hormone secretion, especially when IGF-1 levels alone are inconclusive, for patients across Pune.
At healthcare nt sickcare, the IGFBP-3 Test is available via a home collection facility across Pune and a direct walk-in facility at our centres. Samples are processed through NABL-accredited partner labs, and healthcare nt sickcare is ISO certified, supporting evaluation of growth disorders in children and hormonal imbalance assessment in adults under medical supervision in Maharashtra.
