Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Beta Subunit, Quantitative, Serum LabCorp

This quantitative hCG test measures the exact level of the pregnancy hormone in your blood, helping to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms and guide appropriate care.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Abnormal uterine bleeding: Measuring hCG levels can help determine if bleeding is related to a normal pregnancy, an abnormal pregnancy, or another cause.
• Early pregnancy monitoring: Tracking hCG levels early on helps confirm a healthy pregnancy and monitor its development.
• Ectopic pregnancy suspicion: Abnormally low or slowly rising hCG levels can indicate an ectopic pregnancy, requiring prompt medical attention.
• Postmenopausal bleeding: Measuring hCG can help rule out a rare pregnancy or specific tumors as the cause of bleeding after menopause.
