About Test

The Beta hCG Test is a blood test that measures the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in the body. This hormone is produced during pregnancy by the developing placenta.

This test is one of the most accurate methods to confirm pregnancy at an early stage, as it can detect even small amounts of hCG in the blood.

hCG levels rise rapidly in early pregnancy and typically double every 48–72 hours. Measuring these levels helps assess the progress and health of pregnancy.

The Beta hCG test is also used to detect pregnancy-related complications such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage risk, or multiple pregnancies.
