HCG by CLIA vs HCG beta subnit by CMIA
I had a beta HCG test by CLIA method in one lab on 18th August 2020. The result came as 1143 mlUML. The test report said method to calculate HCG is CLIA. When I approached my doctor she recommended to visit her after two weeks with a Total HCG test taken at a different lab. Today I reached to that prescribed lab and took the test and my result is HCG beta Subnit serum 291 mlUL. Today's lab result report says the HCG method is CMIA.
What does it imply ? CMIA and CLIA are different methods imply different meaning ? What is beta HCG and total HCG beta subnit serum. Can someone help me here please.
