What is BETA HCG, FREE?

The Free Beta HCG test measures a specific subunit of the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) hormone. While HCG is primarily known as a pregnancy hormone, the free beta subunit is often used in specific screening protocols.

Why is this test important?

This test is commonly used as part of prenatal screening panels, such as the first-trimester screening for Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities. It can also be used in the monitoring of certain types of cancer.
