Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin - Serum
What does Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin - Serum measure?
This test measures the level of beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG), a hormone commonly produced during pregnancy. It may be used to help confirm or monitor pregnancy, assess changes in hormone levels over time, or support evaluation of certain pregnancy-related concerns. In some situations, beta-hCG testing may also be used when evaluating conditions associated with hCG production. Results should be interpreted together with symptoms, examination findings, and other tests.
