In accordance with Wikipedia:WikiProject_Drugs naming policy, I propose we move this page to the INN chorionic gonadotropin. If you have any concern with this proposal, please discuss it on this page. Matt 23:03, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Edited details of the common testing methodologies for hCG. While lateral flow immunochromatography is commonly used in home tests, other home tests, and laboratory based urine tests use other methods. similarly for serum hCG, nobody uses RIA any more, a variety of fluorescent and chemiluminescent immunoassays have taken their place. Finally, molar pregnancies are only one of the possibilities for false-positive hCG tests, there are a couple o ffairly famous cases where other types of false-positives led to bad clinical outcomes, including unnecessary surgeries.
Forgive the awkward formatting in places, I haven't edited wiki pages before. --SCampb29 20:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
