What is a Beta HCG Test?View All
A Beta HCG Test is a blood test that measures the level of the Beta-HCG hormone - detectable during pregnancy. A sample of your blood is collected and processed in the lab to find HCG levels. During pregnancy, the human Chorionic Gonadotropin is produced by the placenta (the connection between mother and baby). Its levels rise rapidly in the first few weeks and months of pregnancy. It is found in the mother's blood and urine, but the blood test is more accurate and reliable.
Purpose of Beta HCG Test
This test checks if you are pregnant by measuring a hormone your body makes during pregnancy. Its chief purposes are :
- Find out if you are pregnant : your body starts making this hormone as soon as a fertilized egg attaches to your womb.
- Check how your pregnancy is going : if you are already pregnant this test helps your doctor see if the pregnancy is developing normally.
- Find cause of missed periods : if you have missed periods or other symptoms this test helps figure out what might be causing them.
- Monitor cancers : The beta-hcg level is also elevated in certain cancers like ovarian cancer and cancers of the placenta itself. It is also elevated in men in cancers of the testis.
