  • Chorionic Villi Sampling is a prenatal test where a small sample of fetal placenta (chorionic villi) is obtained to perform genetic testing. (justmommies.com)
  • A chorionic villus sampling (CVS) prenatal test checks cells from the placenta (which are identical to cells from the fetus) to see if they have a chromosomal abnormality (such as Down syndrome ). (kidshealth.org)

Serum13
  • In early, healthy intrauterine pregnancies, serum levels of β-HCG double approximately every 2 days (1.4-2.1 d). (medscape.com)
  • Shepherd et al demonstrated that 64% of very early ectopic pregnancies initially may have normal doubling serum β-HCG levels. (medscape.com)
  • [ 53 ] Later, Barnhart et al more reported that the minimum rise in serum β-HCG for a potentially viable pregnancy in women who present with vaginal bleeding or pain is 53% per 2 days (up to 5000 IU/L). (medscape.com)
  • Furthermore, even though ectopic pregnancies have been established to have lower mean serum β-HCG levels than healthy pregnancies, no single serum β-HCG level is diagnostic of an ectopic pregnancy. (medscape.com)

  • At the time of the first methotrexate dose, the serum hCG concentration was 27,995 IU/L. The laboratory was consulted 3.5 months after the surgery, because serum hCG levels had stopped declining and had leveled off to around 80 to 90 IU/L but with negative urine pregnancy tests. (medscape.com)
