Used in:
Early detection of pregnancy
Investigation of suspected ectopic pregnancy or other pregnancy-related complications. Monitoring in vitro fertilization patients.
Values between 5 and 25 IU/L are indeterminate for pregnancy. Consider confirming with repeat test in 72 hours. Values in pregnancy
should double every 3 days for the first 6 weeks.
Elevated concentrations of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) measured in the first trimester of pregnancy are observed in a normal
pregnancy but may serve as an indication of chorionic carcinoma, hydatiform mole, or multiple pregnancies.
Decreasing hCG concentrations indicate threatened or missed abortion, recent termination of pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, gestosis or
intrauterine death.
Both normal and ectopic pregnancies generally yield positive results of pregnancy tests. The comparison of quantitative hCG
measurements with the results of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) may aid in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy.
When an embryo is first large enough for the gestation sac to be visible on TVUS, the patient generally will have hCG concentrations
between 1,000 and 2,000 IU/L. (These are literature values. Definitive values for this method have not been established at this time.) If
the hCG value is this high and no sac is visible in the uterus, an ectopic pregnancy is suggested.
Elevated values will also be seen with choriocarcinoma and hydatiform mole.
Peri- and postmenopausal females may have detectable hCG concentrations (<14 IU/L) due to the pituitary production of hCG.
