Most women are screened using alphafetoprotein (AFP), unconjugated estriol (uE3), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). An estimated 60-70% of cases of Down syndrome can be detected with an initial positive rate of 5 to 8% with the three marker combination.Knight, G. J...
Options include testing urine for hCG, serum for heterophile antibodies, and serum hCG by different immunoassays. We report the case of a non-pregnant patient with chronic renal failure who had a positive urine hCG test, an elevated serum hCG level by two different assays but normal by a ...
The hCG hormone is the hormone detected in pregnancy tests. Specifically, these tests detect the beta subunit of hCG, which is why pregnancy tests are commonly referred to as "the beta". In addition, quantitative determination of the hCG hormone can give
Tn pregnancies with an unaffected female fetus maternal serum AFP was significantly lower (3%) than in the presence of a male fetus, whilst free beta-hCG was significantly raised (7%) in the presence of a female fetus. These differences led to a significantly higher false positive rate in ...
In males suffering from azoospermia or asthenospermia and asking for fertility treatment, spermatogenesis may be induced by combination therapy with hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) and hMG (human menopausal gonadotrophin) intramuscularly or subcutaneously. Moreover, the recent advent of micromanipulation...

For collection of embryos, females were bred singly to proven fertile mature male mice immediately after the hCG injection and checked for a vaginal plug the following morning. Embryos were flushed from the oviducts of plug positive females at different time points for 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell ...
Beta-hCGParaneoplastic syndromeA high serum level of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) normally indicates pregnancy in healthy women. We were confused by this finding in one of our patients. This 18-year-old girl presented with amenorrhoea of 1-month duration, a positive pregnancy test ...
