Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Qualitative details
What Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Qualitative shows
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone made by the placenta soon after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. This qualitative urine test checks whether hCG is present, giving a positive or negative result rather than a measured level. It is used to confirm or exclude pregnancy, for example before certain procedures, imaging or medicines. A positive result usually indicates pregnancy, though hCG can occasionally come from other sources, such as some medicines or rare tumors. A negative result can happen if the test is done very early or the urine is dilute, so testing again a few days later, or a blood hCG test, may be needed.
