Four rapid serum-urine combination assays of choriogonadotropin (hCG) compared and assessed for their utility in quantitative determinations of hCG.
We evaluated the performance of four visually read pregnancy tests (TestPack Plus hCG Combo, ICON II hCG, SureCell hCG-Serum/Urine and PregnaGen 1-Step) designed to detect increased concentrations of choriogonadotropin (hCG) in either serum or urine samples. The biochemical sensitivities and specificity in both serum and urine samples were similar for each kit. All kits correctly identified pre...
متن کاملAn algorithm for testing and reporting serum choriogonadotropin at clinically significant decision levels with use of "pregnancy test" reagents.
We present an algorithm for monitoring the concentration of human choriogonadotropin (hCG) in serum at various clinical decision levels with use of fast, simple, and cost-effective qualitative pregnancy test reagents for hCG in serum. Based on correlation between laboratory data and clinical observations described in the literature, the following concentrations of hCG in serum can be considered...
متن کاملSimple quantitative measurement of serum choriogonadotropin compared with immunoradiometric, immunoenzymometric, and chemiluminescent assays.
We evaluated a new simplified quantitative method (Tandem Icon QSR; Hybritech) for choriogonadotropin (hCG), which could theoretically be performed in a ward or with outpatients. The method was compared with immunoradiometric (Bioclone Australia), chemiluminescent (Amerlite; Amersham), and immunoenzymometric assays (Stratus; Dade). We analyzed by each of the methods 104 serum samples from pregn...
متن کاملThe hCG assay or pregnancy test.
This review examines human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) or pregnancy tests from multiple perspectives. It first investigates the molecule hCG and shows that the term represents five independent molecules differing in carbohydrate and meric structure that share a common amino acid sequence. The review goes on to show that multiple degradation produces also the need to be tested for an hCG or pre...
متن کاملOne-step chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative determination of choriogonadotropin in urine.
Human choriogonadotropin (hCG), a 36.7-kfla glycoprotein hormone secreted by the human placenta throughout gestation, is an established indicator of pregnancy. hCG is composed of two dissimilar subunits, alpha and beta, that are closely homologous with the subunits of the other glycoprotein hormones: lutropin (LH), follitropin (FSH), and thyrotropin (TSH). Screening blood or urine with a sensit...
