pregnancy biomarker

A pregnancy biomarker is a biological molecule found in blood, urine, or other body fluids that indicates the presence or progression of pregnancy. These biomarkers play a crucial role in early pregnancy detection, monitoring maternal and fetal health, and assessing the risk of pregnancy-related complications. Common pregnancy biomarkers include human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), progesterone, and placental growth factor (PlGF). Understanding and identifying these markers can help healthcare providers offer better prenatal care and intervention when necessary.
