What does the B-HCG test measure?
- The B-HCG test measures the level of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone in your blood.
- It is essential to detect this hormone in your blood or urine during a pregnancy test. The urine test and B-HCG test both can confirm if you are pregnant. But the B-HCG test can let you know the exact level of the hormone present in your blood. Hence, this test is also called a Quantitative Pregnancy Test.
- The beta HCG levels in your blood are calculated in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/ml).Usually, the hormone level lower than 5 mIU/ml is taken as negative. Whereas, to confirm pregnancy, the hormone level must be higher than 25 mIU/ml.
What Preparation is needed for the B-HCG test?
