Reporting one case of abnormal high urine hCG level in the pregnancy. The abnormal high level was still in allowed limits, even higher than normal level. The maximum hCG level was observed at 11 weeks and 5 days of gestational age following the first days of the last menstrual periods. The symptoms such as nausea, vomiting would be severe with very low hCG, last until hCG achieved maximum. This patient was successfully managed with aminazin

We reported here an abnormal high urinary HCG level (30000 frog unit/l) at 11 weeks and 5 days of pregnancy in a normal pregnant woman. Clinical signs of this patient were vomit and severe morning sickness. These signs appeared where the HCG level were still low and last until HCG level were reduced by internal therapy

Using the retrospective cohort study 0f 71 patients with molar pregnancy at Hai Phong Gynecology - Obstetric Hospital from 1/1999 to 12/2000. Average beta hCG level of patients with molar pregnancy was 510.240 mUL/ml. The patients with molar pregnancy < 8 weeks had the average beta hCG 76.516 mUL/ml, although in was not specific but this level was 10 times higher than that of normal pregnancy. The patients with molar pregnancy > 8 weeks had the highly specific beta hCG with more than 500.000 mUL/ml. Beta hCG level was related to uterus height

A 28-year old, G5P4 (4014), noted neck lymph nodes associated with cough. A chest X-ray was done showing a left nodular opacity. Antibiotics were prescribed with a resolution of symptoms. Five months after, a routine chest X-ray revealed interval progression in size of the lung nodule. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan and positron-emission tomography scan were done subsequently showing the precise location and size of the nodule and with no other focus of tumor seen. Transvaginal ultrasound was normal. With an initial diagnosis of lung carcinoma, a percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy under CT scan guidance was done. Immunohistochemical staining panel showed that beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was positive. Subsequently, a serum beta-hCG done showed low levels from 33.48 to 59.7 mIU/ml. The final diagnosis given was a poorly differentiated malignancy highly suggestive of malignant trophoblastic tumor. A video-assisted left upper lobectomy was performed with histopathology and immunohistochemistry consistent with epithelioid trophoblastic tumor with co-existing choriocarcinoma elements. Postoperative beta-hCG level dropped to normal and remained so for 2½ years.

A study on 33 patients with the ectopic pregnancy during 2-6/1997 was carried out. The Beta HCG in the peripheral blood was quantified. The results have shown that the serum concentration of Beta HCG in patients with the ectopic pregnancy always was low, the lowest concentration was 41mlIU/ml. This concentration was very different from one patient to another's and was not distributed as standard so the average concentration of HCG has not been clinical significant.
