Chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) Disease Interactions
There are 2 disease interactions with chorionic gonadotropin (hcg).
HCG (applies to chorionic gonadotropin (hcg)) androgen- dependent neoplasm
Major Potential Hazard, High plausibility. Applicable conditions: Prostate Cancer
The use of chorionic gonadotropin is contraindicated for use in patients with prostatic or other androgen- dependent neoplasm. HCG activity is identical to that of luteinizing hormone (LH) and, to a small degree, that of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), resulting in production of androgens by the testis.
Chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) (applies to chorionic gonadotropin (hcg)) volume overload
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Fluid Retention, Congestive Heart Failure, Migraine, Seizures, Renal Dysfunction
Chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) induction of androgen secretion can result in fluid retention. Therapy with chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) should be administered cautiously in patients adversely affected by sodium and water retention such as patients with cardiac or renal disease, epilepsy, migraine or asthma.
