Detectable serum levels of beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (beta hCG) in nonpregnant, perimenopausal women bring confusion in both clinician and patient and could lead to unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. A 45-year-old woman with the continuous elevation of beta hCG ...
hCG is present only in trace amounts in non-pregnant urine and sera but rises sharply during pregnancy. HCG is composed of two non-identical, non-covalently linked polypeptide chains designated as the alpha and Beta subunits. The alpha subunit is identical to that of thyroid stimulating hormone...
First reason is that it gives information about you being pregnant or not. If you are pregnant, doctors suggest you to go for Beta HCG for many other reasons throughout your gestational period. Second reason is that by undergoing other conservative HCG testing, doctors learn about the measure ...
hCG levels in blood can be used to detect levels as low as 5 mUI/ml and the concentration levels of the hormone can therefore be calculated. hCG levels in multiple pregnancies are 30-50 % higher than in pregnancies where there is only one foetus. However, a multiple pregnancy should be c...

human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) that is produced after implantation of a fertilized egg. If you test too early, you may get a false negative result, so you should repeat the test if you suspect you are pregnant. A blood test at the doctor's office can provide even more accurate ...
Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of the test as a predictor of preterm delivery were 41.67%, 80.85%, 62.5%, and 64.41% respectively.Conclusion: A high sensitivity was not attained in this for the cervicovaginal secretions beta- hcg levels in order to predict ...
Trophoblastic cells in embryos around the time of implantation appear to synthesise more HCG than do cells from older embryos.31 Boroditsky et al32 have shown a fetal sex difference in the levels of HCG during pregnancy. Women bearing female fetuses have higher serum concentrations of HCG in t...
and can inhibit HIV replication. The production of hCG is thus not restricted to pregnant women, since lymphocytes of the individuals of either sex are able to secrete it. The presence of hCG in HIV-infected individuals is essential for their well-being and sufficient levels of hCG, secreted ...
