Due to assay variation IGF-I reference ranges are assay specific. We provide serum IGF-I reference ranges for adult men and women obtained by a commercially available assay. METHOD: IGF-I was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (R&D Systems). Assay precision was evaluated in low, medium and high IGF-I pools and in single samples from outpatients. The reference ranges were obtained in 724 healthy Caucasians, mean age 48 years (range 19-91). RESULTS: IGF-I was measured higher in serum compared to plasma samples (p<0.001, R2=0.96). To convert EDTA plasma values to serum values a factor of 1.22 was calculated. The intraassay coefficients of variation (CV) for the low: 56.4+/-2.7 ng/mL, medium: 179.7+/-5.9 ng/mL and high pool: 445.61+/-3.2 ng/mL (mean 1 SD) were 5, 3 and 3%. Interassays CVs for the low, medium and high pool varied between 7-10, 5-7, and 6-9%. Reproducibility between 4 different lots showed a intraclass CV of 0.99 (95%CI 0.98-0.96). Logarithmically transformed IGF-I levels were linearly associated with age with a 13% reduction in IGF-I per decade in females and 11% in males.
