Prueba de embarazo - Resultados

Valores normales:

Los niveles de GCH aumentan en forma rápida durante el primer trimestre del embarazo y luego disminuyen ligeramente.

Significado de los resultados anormales:

Los niveles de GCH deben elevarse cada 48 horas al comienzo del embarazo y cuando dichos niveles no se elevan apropiadamente, esto puede ser indicio de un problema en el embarazo. Algunos problemas asociados con un nivel de GCH anormalmente elevado abarcan aborto espontáneo y embarazo ectópico (tubárico).

Los niveles extremadamente altos de GCH pueden sugerir la presencia de un embarazo molar o de más de un feto, por ejemplo, gemelos.

El médico comprenderá el significado de los niveles de GCH y debe explicarle a la persona su significado.
