HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It enters the urine and can be detected by pregnancy tests, making it the basis for pregnancy diagnosis tests. Estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, and LH may also be elevated during pregnancy, but their presence in urine is not used for pregnancy diagnosis tests.
