Order Beta-hCG Pregnancy Test, QuantitativeThe Beta-hCG Pregnancy Test, Quantitative Panel measures the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the blood.

Because the test reports an exact numeric value rather than a simple positive or negative result, it offers a precise view of how much beta-hCG is present.
About Beta-hCG Pregnancy Test, Quantitative in Texarkana
Beta-hCG is a hormone composed of two subunits, with the beta subunit being unique to hCG.
The beta subunit of hCG distinguishes this hormone from other similar molecules, such as luteinizing hormone, which is why quantitative assays target it specifically. In a normal pregnancy, beta-hCG levels rise in a predictable pattern during early gestation, roughly doubling every couple of days at first.
Beyond pregnancy, elevated beta-hCG can occur in germ cell tumors, including those of the ovary or testis, as well as in some other malignancies. Clinicians may use this test to help monitor treatment response or detect recurrence in people with such tumors, since changes in the numeric level can reflect changes in tumor activity.
Results are reported as a numerical concentration, typically in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). Interpretation depends on the clinical context, because both pregnancy and certain tumors can raise beta-hCG, and reference ranges can vary between laboratories. A single value is often less informative than a series of measurements over time.
