Marijuana use does not spuriously elevate serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels
Marijuana use has been reported to spuriously elevate immunoreactive human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the serum of patients with testicular germ cell tumors. To reinvestigate this finding, we measured serum HCG and All Δ 9-tetrahydrocannabino ( Δ 9-THC) levels in 16 men known or suspected to be...

| description | Marijuana use has been reported to spuriously elevate immunoreactive human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the serum of patients with testicular germ cell tumors. To reinvestigate this finding, we measured serum HCG and All
Δ
9-tetrahydrocannabino (
Δ
9-THC) levels in 16 men known or suspected to be marijuana users. Eight of the serum samples had measurable levels of
Δ
9-THC, while eight did not. None contained immunoreactive HCG. The addition of
Δ
9-THC directly to pooled male serum had no effect on the HCG radioimmunoassay. These results indicate that marijuana does not artificially elevate serum HCG concentrations. |
