Beta (HCG) Human Chorionic Gonadotropin - Book Test at Low Cost

The beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (-hCG) total test determines the quantity of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in the blood, ideally ten days after conception. During early pregnancy, between 8 and 10 weeks, the levels of this hormone rise in the bloodstream, after which they begin to diminish. The function of b-hCG in early pregnancy is to keep the corpus luteum healthy.

This test is often used to determine whether or not a woman is pregnant. It can, however, aid in the diagnosis of suspected malignancies, post-miscarriage surveillance, and ectopic pregnancy detection. After 6-7 weeks of pregnancy, hCG levels aren't handy for determining the pregnancy's viability.

An ultrasound is used instead to verify the presence of a fetal heartbeat. Miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy are associated with low hCG, whereas numerous pregnancies are associated with high hCG.

What is Beta hCG?

hCG or human chorionic gonadotropin is also known as pregnancy hormone. It is produced by the trophoblastic cells that surrounds the embryo in early pregnancy. Once the placenta is formed, it becomes the source of hCG hormone. 

As early as 7-8 days after conception, hCG can be detected in blood/serum of pregnant women. hCG levels get doubled after every 2 days and peaks at 8-10 weeks of pregnancy. Then, it starts declining, reaches plateau at 16 weeks and maintained till term. It disappears from circulation after 2 weeks post-delivery of baby. 

Beta-hCG hormone is also produced by some tumors/cancers such as choriocarcinoma. Thus, an elevated levels of hCG in non-pregnant females may act as a tumor marker for cancers.
