HCG Beta Total Quantitative, Maternal Test near me in Visakhapatnam

The HCG Beta Total Quantitative, Maternal Test test helps detect the amount of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in the blood, preferably 10 days post conception. It is available at an affordable price in Visakhapatnam with Tata 1mg labs. This test is commonly used to confirm pregnancy. However, it can also help detect abnormal pregnancies (such as ectopic or molar pregnancy), some tumors, and possible miscarriages. It is also used as part of a screening test for Down syndrome. 

Beta hCG is a hormone produced by the cells in the developing placenta during pregnancy. The level of this hormone increases during the initial period of pregnancy. However, after 6-7 weeks of conceiving, hCG levels are not very helpful for testing the viability of a pregnancy. Instead, an ultrasound is done to confirm the presence of a fetal heartbeat.
