Description
The Beta HCG Serum test measures the level of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood. This hormone is primarily produced during pregnancy, making this test a standard method for pregnancy detection and monitoring. In early pregnancy, Beta HCG levels typically double every 2-3 days, providing valuable information about the viability of the pregnancy. Beyond pregnancy, this test is also crucial in diagnosing and monitoring certain types of cancer, particularly testicular and ovarian germ cell tumors, as well as gestational trophoblastic diseases. Elevated HCG levels in non-pregnant individuals can indicate the presence of these cancers. The test is essential for early cancer detection, treatment monitoring, and assessing the effectiveness of cancer therapies in relevant cases.
