Elevated Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin Due to Pancreatic Cancer
Preoperative pregnancy testing is common practice among anesthesiologists. Little is re-ported in anesthesia literature on causes other than pregnancy for elevated human chorionic go-nadotrophin (hCG) levels. Among these causes is hCG secretion by tumors. This is a report of a female with pancreatic cancer that presented for a Whipple procedure, who on routine pregnancy testing was found to hav...
متن کاملUrinary chorionic gonadotrophin determination.
Successful laboratory tests for early pregnancy utilize the endogenous production and excretion of chorionic gonadotrophin (CG). There is wide variation in sensitivity and specificity of various biological and commercially available immunochemical methods for determining urinary CC levels. Normal values for immunochemically reactive CC during the first trimester of pregnancy are given. Serial d...
متن کاملIncreased Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Due to Hypogonadism
nonsignificant differences between cutoffs for serum and plasma and between assays are encouraging regarding the ease of interpretation by clinicians and laboratories. Also encouraging were improvements in the analytical sensitivity of these newergeneration assays. Interestingly, only 3 samples were identified as above the 99th percentile by all 3 assays. The mechanisms responsible for this lac...
متن کاملEffect of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone aned human chorionic gonadotrophin on the response of the ewe to pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin.
An experiment was conducted to determine whether gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) or HCG would reduce the proportion of unruptured follicles in the Galway ewe following a high superovulating dose of PMSG given in conjunction with a progestagen to synchronize oestrus. Forty-four Galway ewes aged 1\m=1/2\to 5 years (average wt 64\m=.\7kg) were treated with intravaginal pessaries impregnate...
متن کاملAnalysis of chorionic gonadotrophin secreted by cultured human blastocysts.
Embryos produced in an in-vitro fertilization (IVF) programme, but which were unsuitable for transfer to patients because they originated from one (1PN) or three pronuclear (3PN) oocytes or because they originated from two pronuclear (2PN) oocytes but cleaved normally, were maintained in tissue culture. The embryos that progressed to blastocytes were cultured to day 14 of development in order t...
