  • Title: Hydatidiform mole and post-evacuation regression patterns of serum beta human chorionic gonadotrophin.

    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 1993 Mar; 48(1):40-5. PubMed ID: 7688063.
    Abstract:
    Eighty-nine patients who had hydatidiform moles evacuated at the General Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, were followed with serum beta hCG determinations from October 1988 to June 1991. A regression curve for serum beta hCG, as measured by RIA, was derived from the results of 47 of the patients who demonstrated spontaneous regression of serum beta hCG titres. All 47 patients had normal serum titres at 135 days after evacuation. The mean time taken to reach normal level was 82.6 days, while the range was 39 to 135 days (5 to 19 weeks).
