Got blood work done for insulin like growth factor-1. what does it mean as a female to have a z score of -.3?

Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, IGF 1 is usually used a screening test for growth hormone excess. You laboratory result should include a normal range. Wish you good health!
