BETA2 MICROGLOBULIN

The beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (?-hCG) test measures the level of ?-hCG in the blood or urine. ?-hCG is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. The test is commonly used to confirm pregnancy, monitor its progression, and diagnose certain pregnancy-related conditions, such as ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy. Elevated ?-hCG levels can also indicate certain types of tumors, such as choriocarcinoma and germ cell tumors. This test is essential for early pregnancy detection, guiding prenatal care, and monitoring the effectiveness of treatments for ?-hCG-producing tumors.
