In the results of blood tests, the level of hCG may be seriously higher than normal for the following reasons:
• Presence of toxicosis;
• Formation of more than one fetus;
• The appearance of hydatidiform mole;
• Presence of genetic problems;
• Complication due to diabetes mellitus.
The level of human chorionic gonadotropin can be increased not only due to pregnancy, but also due to certain abnormalities:
• Extremely high levels of hCG due to taking hormonal drugs;
• The presence of malignant neoplasms in various organs (kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, uterus, lungs, etc.);
• Preservation of unstable hormonal levels as a result of an abortion.
In rare cases, in the presence of serious hormonal imbalances, elevated levels of hCG may also be found in men.
