The Mayo Clinic Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Quantitative, Serum (BHCG) test is a blood test that measures the level of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) in the blood. Beta-hCG is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy and can be detected in the blood as early as 11 days after conception. The test is used to confirm pregnancy and monitor the health of a pregnancy. Abnormal levels of beta-hCG can indicate a possible miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. The test is typically performed using a blood sample and is considered a safe and non-invasive diagnostic tool.
