A member asked:

Quantitative blood test for hcg, what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin: This test comes in two varieties, one a purely "qualitative" one that is intended to detect pregnancy, and a second quantitative one that provides a number, and thus can detect more subtle abnormalities of production either by the fetus, or a tumor.
