Pregnancy test kit 00017C

β-hCGserumplasma

Beta-hCG (bHCG or β-hCG) is a sex hormone found in the mother's blood serum that can be used to help interpret obstetric ultrasound findings. Beta-hCG levels may be used in three ways in the clinical setting of pregnancy: qualitatively, for presence/absence of fetal tissue; quantitatively, for assessing if a pregnancy is meeting appropriate cut-off values for its age; quantitatively, for trending the growth rate of fetal tissue. Outside the pregnancy setting, it may also be used quantitatively as a tumor marker, to aid in diagnosing a potentially beta-hCG secreting mass (e.g. choriocarcinoma).
