Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (Beta HCG), integrated within the Healthesh system, is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It is commonly referred to as the “pregnancy hormone” and is detectable in blood and urine shortly after conception.

Beta HCG testing is commonly used as a qualitative or quantitative method to confirm pregnancy. In qualitative testing, urine or blood samples are tested to determine if HCG is present, providing a simple “positive” or “negative” result for pregnancy. Quantitative testing measures the actual level of HCG in the blood, which can help estimate the age of the pregnancy or identify potential issues such as ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.

Additionally, beta hCG levels are monitored during early pregnancy to ensure appropriate development of the embryo and placenta. Abnormal levels of beta hCG may indicate potential complications such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or fetal abnormalities.

Integrating beta hCG testing within the Healthesh system allows for efficient analysis and interpretation of results, aiding healthcare professionals in confirming pregnancy, monitoring early pregnancy development, and identifying potential pregnancy-related complications. This comprehensive approach to beta hCG testing contributes to improved patient care and outcomes in obstetrics and gynecology.
