hCG (Pregnancy) Urine Test, Random

What is the purpose of this test?

The hCG (Pregnancy) Urine Test, Random, is designed to detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy. hCG is released by the placenta after fertilization and typically becomes detectable in urine as early as 10 days after conception. This test helps confirm pregnancy by measuring hCG levels in a random urine sample, providing a quick and convenient way to know if pregnancy has occurred.

The hCG urine test is especially useful for individuals seeking a reliable, non-invasive way to detect early pregnancy. Testing can also be helpful in monitoring pregnancy health, as hCG levels rise and fall predictably in early pregnancy. By tracking these levels, healthcare providers can assess the viability of a pregnancy or identify any potential complications, giving both patients and providers peace of mind during this critical stage.

Who should get this test?

• Anyone who suspects they may be pregnant.
• Individuals who are experiencing pregnancy symptoms, such as a missed period, nausea, or breast tenderness.
• Those who want to confirm a home pregnancy test result.
• Individuals undergoing fertility treatments who need confirmation of pregnancy.
• People who are monitoring early pregnancy health and need to track hCG levels.
