What Does A HCG Level Of 36.56 Indicate?
Question: Hi, My HCG Level is 36.56 day before yesterday with CLIA method. Today I checked (36 hours approx) from first test, it shows 30.56 with ECLIA method. Can you please let me know if this is increase in the level?
Brief Answer:
HCG level has decreased.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The level of HCG has not increased. It has rather decreased. It is not suggestive of a viable pregnancy. It is more likely to be a chemical pregnancy or a blighted ovum.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Tests were taken in two different laboratory and both pf them follow different test methods. Each method has a different ranges specified.
1st method was by ECLIA and was taken on 3rd November
2nd method was by CLIA and was taken on 5th November
can you please advice if both the methods are same.
Or should i go for another test tomorrow by ELCIA and then confirm the hcg rates

Brief Answer:
Both are same.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Both the methods are same and in case of pregnancy the levels of HCG should have increased in two days. It is best to wait for two more days before repeating the test.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
