Test Description: Pregnancy Test, Urine (UPT)

The Urine Pregnancy Test (UPT) detects the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy. This test is typically used to confirm pregnancy in the early stages, as hCG levels rise rapidly after implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus. The test is quick and non-invasive, providing results within minutes. It is commonly used for home pregnancy testing, as well as in clinics or hospitals for initial pregnancy diagnosis.
