Choriogonadotropin [Presence] in Urine

Active

Term Description

This lab test is used as pregnancy test

Part Description

LP14651-1 Choriogonadotropin
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a peptide hormone produced in pregnancy, that is made by the embryo soon after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast (part of the placenta). Its role is to prevent the disintegration of the corpus luteum of the ovary and thereby maintain progesterone production that is critical for a pregnancy in humans. hCG may have additional functions, including affecting the immune tolerance of the pregnancy. Early pregnancy testing generally is based on the detection or measurement of hCG. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.

Basic Attributes

Class: CHEM
Type: Laboratory
First Released: Version 1.0
Last Updated: Version 2.79 (NAM)
Change Reason: Release 2.79: METHOD_TYP: Due to changes in modeling heuristics as result of SCT collaboration and in preparation for post-coordination; COMPONENT: Due to changes in modeling heuristics as result of SCT collaboration and in preparation for post-coordination; LONG_COMMON_NAME: Due to changes in modeling heuristics as result of SCT collaboration and in preparation for post-coordination; SHORTNAME: Due to changes in modeling heuristics as result of SCT collaboration and in preparation for post-coordination; Previous Releases: Clarified that the ordinal(pos/neg) test for urine and serum and are are not otherwise special (e.g multiple of the median) are usually used as pregnancy tests.; The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
