Scientists question reliability of key hormone disorder test
NCT ID NCT04066569
Summary
This study aimed to check how reliable a standard diagnostic test is for acromegaly, a rare condition caused by too much growth hormone. Researchers tested 109 people, some with acromegaly and some without, to see if the test's results were consistent when repeated. They also compared the standard sugar drink test to a placebo drink to see if the sugar itself was necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
