The Free Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (BHCG) test measures the level of the free beta subunit of the hCG hormone in the blood. This test is primarily used in the evaluation of early pregnancy, as elevated levels of free BHCG can confirm pregnancy and help assess its viability. Additionally, it may be used in conjunction with other tests for screening certain conditions, including Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities during the first trimester of pregnancy. Monitoring free BHCG levels can also assist in detecting certain types of tumors. A blood sample is required for this test, and its results are interpreted alongside other clinical findings to guide diagnosis and management.
