Test Code

The Free Beta hCG, Serum test measures the free beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) circulating in the blood. During pregnancy, hCG is produced by the placenta, and free beta hCG is especially important in first-trimester prenatal screening for chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and Trisomy 18, when interpreted with other markers and ultrasound findings. Outside pregnancy, elevated free beta hCG levels may be associated with trophoblastic diseases or certain germ cell tumors, making this test valuable for diagnosis, risk assessment, and monitoring.
