BETA-HCG QUANTITATIVE SERUM

Quantitative hCG provides a specific value that can be tracked over time, which is particularly important in early pregnancy. In a normally progressing early pregnancy, hCG levels typically double every 48-72 hours; failure to do so may signal ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.

This test is used to confirm pregnancy and monitor its early progress, evaluate possible ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, monitor pregnancies after fertility treatment, and follow patients with germ cell tumors or gestational trophoblastic disease. Trends over time are typically more meaningful than single values. Sample type is serum.
