Patient's question:
I am preparing to have an abortion surgery. What blood tests are usually done for abortion surgery? I saw one item for blood test.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify your question. About a week after an induced abortion, you need to have an MRI examination to check if there are any residual issues in the uterine cavity. Blood tests are mainly used to check the rise in the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to speculate on the best possible outcome of residual tissue. If there is a residue, the hCG level usually remains at a certain height and does not decline further.
