| Re: What does this test mean?
Causes of low serum IGF-I are varied the main causes noted in NIH references are malnutrition, diabetes, hypothyroidism, liver disease, hypothalamic/pituitary disfunction. Is your GH also low? You should get your IGF and GH tested now so you have a reference. Your symptoms can easily be under treated hypothyroidism with a mild mineral malabsorption such as low vit D, B12, ferritin.
