Insulin Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 7 as a Novel Diagnostic Marker in Sera of Iraqi Patients with Acromegaly

The purpose of this study was to measure serum levels insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP7), Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), Hormone (GH), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and insulin in acromegaly patients healthy controls. group had 60 patients, while the population 30 people who never before. concentration IGFBP7, IGF-1, GH, IL-6, were determined. results present indicate that IGFBP7 level significantly lower (1.690.07 ng/mL vs. 2.740.12 ng/mL, respectively, p = 0.001). concentrations also higher patients. diagnostic accuracy (2.194) excellent separating from patient group, area under curve (AUC 0.871, From study, we can conclude be used distinguish individuals.
