چکیده مقاله:

  Background : Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) disease is excessive and inappropriate proliferation of trophoblast after termination of the pregnancy. Many attempts have been made to improve follow-up procedures, but no studies have evaluated Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) as a post treatment indicator. Thus we aimed to know β-HCG variability in post treatment pregnancies.   Methods: 40 Molar affected pregnancies were followed post-surgical treatment by serum β-HCG level in a tertiary level hospital. All subjects were treated by evacuation and followed by β-HCG every week for three weeks, then every month for six months.   Results: 30 women were normal (group I) and 10 (group II) diagnosed as GTN cases. Serum β-HCG which obtained serially shown significant differences between two groups (p=0.001). The quantity of β-HCG/week had significantly higher level than normal females ( p<0.001)   Conclusion: Our results suggested that β-HCG serum level could be used as a strong indicator for identifying affected patients at early stage.

Does Postevacuation β-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Level Predict the Persistent Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia?

β -human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) level is not a reliable marker for early identification of persistent gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) after evacuation of hydatidiform mole. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate β -HCG regression after evacuation as a predictive factor of malignant GTN in complete molar pregnancy. Methods. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated a total ...

Measurement of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) in the management of Trophoblastic disease

Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) is mainly a product of the syncytiotropoblastic cells of the placenta although it is also secreted, in lesser quantities, by cytotrophoblastic cells and several nonplacental tissues. It is produced in gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTN) and maybe seen in nontrophoblastic neoplasms (Stenman, 2006). hCG is essential in pregnancy as it promotes transformat...

An Immunochemical Test for Chorionic Gonadotrophin.

An immunochemical procedure for routine laboratory diagnosis of pregnancy utilizing adsorption of human chorionic gonadotrophin onto kaolin and the Ortho pregnancy test reagents is described. The method is suitable for quantitative assay of urinary human chorionic gonadotrophin and can be adapted for use with serum. It was found to compare favourably with the reliability of Galli-Mainini toad t...

Urinary 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...
