Higher-than-typical hCG levels can signal that you're carrying twins or multiples or, in rare cases, have a molar pregnancy. Often, you won't know what your hCG levels are during pregnancy.

Certain cancers and other medical conditions can lead non-pregnant women and men to produce moderate to high levels of hCG. Here's what you need to know about hCG, whether you're pregnant or not.

Levels of hCG that were greater than 100,000 mIU per milliliter before evacuation were observed in 30 of 74 patients with complete moles (41%) in one series 23 and in 70 of 153 patients with ...

Of 400 randomly selected patients with molar pregnancy, 333 cases (83%) were uncomplicated, and 211 of these (63%) completed recommended hCG follow-up.

A molar pregnancy occurs in about 1 in every 1,000 pregnancies. But if you've already had a molar pregnancy, then your risk of getting another one increases to about 1 in 100.

Van Trommel et al have previously shown that serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) cutoff levels can provide early prediction of resistance to first-line methotrexate (MTX) in patients with ...

In a complete molar pregnancy, the sperm fertilises with an empty egg causing the tissue to grow and form grape-like clusters. These clusters trigger hCG levels and feed on them.

Post-molar pregnancy gestational trophoblastic tumours (GTT) have been curable with chemotherapy treatment for over 50 years. Because of the rarity of the diagnosis, detailed structured ...
