A member asked:
Whats the hook effect on hcg urine tests? does the hook effect happen on blood also?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hook effect affects blood tests more than it affects urine tests. Hook effect refers to the apparent low levels when the actual levels are extremely high. Urine tests are not quantitative measures and yes/no answers are not affected as much. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
