Fluid therapy identifying patients

Also, hCG is useful in identifying patients with trophoblastic tumors and, together with AFP, in detecting non-seminomatous testicular tumors. Levels of hCG correlate with the tumor volume and disease prognosis. The presence of hCG in seminoma may indicate the presence of choriocarcinoma. Because hCG does not cross the blood-brain barrier, the normal cerebrospinal fluid-to-serum ratio is 1 60. Higher levels in cerebrospinal fluid may indicate metastases to the brain. Furthermore, the response to therapy for patients with central nervous system metastasis may be indicated by monitoring the hCG level. [Pg.766]
