At what levels is IGF-1 a concern?

Hello

My blood test from a few months ago indicated a IGF-1 of 294. I am 33 years old. At what level is it a concern, if anyone has experience with this?

I googled it and obviously googling high IGF-1 is scary haha. Now I'm connecting my joints in my fingers hurting and my slightly sausage fingers to this

Any ideas? I will see my GP, but they are always saying things are in my head, kind of like my low testosterone (It was below 250 at one point, and the GP was like "normal ranges" you are fine)

Thanks all
D

What was that lab range?

What was that lab range?

For LabCorp, male aged 31-35 was 88−246.

I think an MRI to rule out anything with the pituitary could be prudent, if you have a repeat high test, that is.

Yeah, might be a good idea. I'll test my IGF-1 once more, and if still elevated I will play the game with the GP to get MRI.
