Pathologic Findings in Pregnancies with Unexplained Increases in Midtrimester Maternal Serum Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Levels

Evaluation of human chorionic gonadotropin beta-subunit mRNA concentrations in maternal serum in aneuploid pregnancies: a feasibility study.

Fully automated immunoassay formats are available for quantification of urinary albumin in large numbers of samples. However, most of these methods are impractical or expensive. The criteria for point-of-care testing include affordable cost, a disposable device, and minimum main-tenance/technical expertise required to perform tests (15). The sample should be applied directly to the device, whic...

Serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin levels and preeclampsia.

OBJECTIVE Preeclampsia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. It is a trophoblastic disorder. Since human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is secreted by trophoblast, the purpose of the study was to determine the levels of beta (hCG) in preeclampsia and normal cases. METHODS This study was conducted on 40 term pregnant women with preeclampsia (case group) and 40 normal pregnant cas...

Quantification of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin by Bovine Serum Albumin Nanoparticles

Background and Aims: Some nanoparticles can be used in immunoassays to increase sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate a novel nano-immunoassay based on bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs). Materials and methods: At first, the nanostructure was synthesized, and then applied as a tag in the nano-immunoassay. Then the concentration of β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin ...

Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (βHCG) Levels in Pre-eclamptic and Normotensive Pregnant Women

Background: Pre-eclampsia along with bleeding and infection constitute a triad that is a major cause of maternal mortality. Many factors have been recognized which can help us to determine the severity of the disease and early diagnosis of it. Since throphoblastic disorder is one of the etiological causes of pre-eclampsia, we decided to measure the level of β-hCG as a marker of detecting the ac...
