How do you know about pregnancy in urine test in lab?
When a human female is pregnant, she starts to generate a hormone called hCG (human choriogonadotropin). It is specific to a pregnant female as it is made in the placenta, and it is excreted in the urine. Most labs will run an hCG test on all urine samples as part of the standard urinalysis.
Are you pregnant if a home pregnancy test came back positive and a laboratory urine test was inconclusive and why would they be different?
Hello there. Yes you may very well be pregnant. A pregnancy test will only turn positive once HCG has been found in your urine. BUT there needs to be ENOUGH HCG in your urine to make a positive test result. Depending on the pregnancy test, they usually look for 5MIU - 50MIU. If you had 49MIU of HCG in your urine and did a test that looks for 50MIU it would be negative. The same thing applies to the Labatory urine pregnancy test. When they did the test you probably didn't have enough HCG in your urine to give you a positive. You need to have a blood test. Urine tests are NOT reliable and give negative results when women are indeed pregnant. See your doctor for a Quantitative Beta HCG pregnancy test. Good luck.
