FREE BETA HCG

The free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (?-hCG) test measures the level of the free beta subunit of hCG in the blood. This test is used to confirm pregnancy, monitor its progression, and diagnose certain pregnancy-related conditions, such as ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy. Elevated free ?-hCG levels can also indicate certain types of tumors, such as choriocarcinoma and germ cell tumors. The test is essential for early pregnancy detection, guiding prenatal care, and monitoring the effectiveness of treatments for ?-hCG-producing tumors. It provides valuable information for managing pregnancy and related conditions.
