Abstract

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced by trophoblasts in pregnancy as well as in gestational trophoblastic diseases (GTD). The alpha subunit is identical to that for luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Elevated serum levels of hCG can lead to complications that include hyperemesis gravidarum, early development of preeclampsia, and occasionally hyperthyroidism. Laboratory test for hCG are very sensitive and specific.
