ß hCG (Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Quantitative Test

Quantitative Beta hCG Test

Serum hCG Level Test

The ß hCG Quantitative Test is a diagnostic blood test used to measure the levels of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (ß hCG) in the bloodstream. This hormone is produced during pregnancy, and the test is commonly used to confirm and monitor pregnancies, as well as assess certain reproductive and gestational conditions.

The test is a key tool for confirming and monitoring pregnancies, including early detection of pregnancy and assessment of its progression.
Serial measurements of ß hCG levels can be used to monitor the success of assisted reproductive technologies and assess for potential complications such as ectopic pregnancy.
Results should be interpreted by an obstetrician, gynecologist, or healthcare provider in the context of the patient's reproductive history and clinical presentation.
