  • Title: High levels of hCG in choriocarcinoma can result in renal failure and a false-negative pregnancy test in men.
    Author: Meyer T, Cole LA, Richman PI, Mitchell HD, Myers J, Rustin GJ.
    Journal: Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol); 2001; 13(4):301-3. PubMed ID: 11554631.
    Abstract:
    The diagnosis of choriocarcinoma was delayed because a urinary pregnancy test for hCG was falsely negative. This man's hCG rose to 25,000,000 iu/l. He developed renal impairment, probably due to precipitation of hCG in his renal rubules.
