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 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...
متن کاملDiscordant results in human chorionic gonadotropin assays.
Discordance has been reported in human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) concentrations measured by different immunoassay kits. We examined the results for 40 serum samples assayed with 10 different hCG immunoassay kits. Results varied considerably. Individual sample results varied by as much as 58-fold. Average results for different kits varied by as much as 1.4-fold for pregnancy (20 samples) and ...
