If you need a Beta hCG test in Pakistan, the price you pay depends on the laboratory you choose and on exactly which version of the test is listed. This comparison brings together the Beta hCG prices listed by the major laboratories in Pakistan, so you can see the full range side by side before you book. Prices below are as listed in November 2026 and may vary by branch or city, so it is always worth confirming the current charge with the laboratory before you visit.
Beta hCG Test Price Comparison in Pakistan
The table below lists each laboratory’s Beta hCG entries exactly as they are named on its own price list. Where a laboratory lists more than one differently named entry, each one is shown as a separate row, because the names and prices are not the same. Aga Khan University Hospital is included without a number, as explained below the table.
| Lab | Price (PKR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chughtai Lab – Serum Beta hCG | 2,550 | Official Chughtai rate; see the note below the table |
| Chughtai Lab – Serum Beta hCG (Male) | 2,600 | Official Chughtai rate; see the note below the table |
| Islamabad Diagnostic Centre (IDC) – Beta hCG | 2,450 | Listed as Beta hCG on the IDC list page |
| Dow Lab – Pregnancy Test / HCG | 350 | Listed under this exact name on the Dow list page; confirm with the laboratory which version of the test this entry covers |
| Dow Lab – Serum Hcg | 1,270 | Listed under this exact name on the Dow list page |
| Dow Lab – Serum Beta Hcg | 1,300 | Listed under this exact name on the Dow list page |
| Khan Lab – Beta hCG | 1,800 | Listed as Beta hCG on the Khan Lab list page |
| Ibn-E-Sina Clinical Laboratory – Beta hCG Test | 2,000 | Listed as Beta hCG Test on the Ibn-E-Sina list page |
| Alnoor Diagnostic Centre – Beta hCG | 2,300 | Listed as Beta hCG on the Alnoor list page |
| Alnoor Diagnostic Centre – Beta hCG (Male) | 2,300 | Listed as a separate entry, at the same price, on the Alnoor list page |
| Aga Khan University Hospital | Price not publicly listed – confirm with the hospital | No price is shown for this test in this comparison, because no publicly listed figure is used here |
Note on the Chughtai Lab figures: The Chughtai list page on this site showed only one entry, Serum Beta hCG (Male) at PKR 2,300. Chughtai Lab’s own official test search (chughtailab.com/tests) lists Serum Beta hCG at PKR 2,550 and Serum Beta hCG (Male) at PKR 2,600. Because the official rate differs from the site list, the table above uses the official rates, and the difference is flagged here. Please confirm the current rate with Chughtai Lab before booking.
A note on urine listings: Several laboratories also list separate urine pregnancy entries, such as a pregnancy test (urine). Those are not the blood Beta hCG test, so they are not included in the table above and their prices should not be compared directly with the blood test prices.
Price Summary
Across all rows in the table, prices run from PKR 350 to PKR 2,600. That lowest figure is Dow Lab’s differently named Pregnancy Test / HCG entry, so it should be read with the note in its row. Looking only at the blood hCG rows, the range is PKR 1,270 to PKR 2,600. The most common single figure in the table is PKR 2,300, which is the price listed for both of Alnoor Diagnostic Centre’s entries. The highest blood hCG price in the table is Chughtai Lab’s Serum Beta hCG (Male) at PKR 2,600 on the official rate, followed by Chughtai Lab’s Serum Beta hCG at PKR 2,550 and IDC’s Beta hCG at PKR 2,450. Khan Lab’s Beta hCG at PKR 1,800 and Ibn-E-Sina’s Beta hCG Test at PKR 2,000 sit in the middle of the range. Because laboratories list the test under different names, the cheapest and most expensive rows are not always like-for-like, which is why the exact entry name matters when you compare.
What Is the Beta hCG Test?
Beta hCG is a blood test that measures human chorionic gonadotropin, often called the pregnancy hormone, in the blood. The hormone is produced during pregnancy, and a blood Beta hCG test gives a number, so it can show how much of the hormone is present, rather than only a yes-or-no answer. Doctors commonly use it to confirm an early pregnancy, and, on a doctor’s advice, repeat tests can be used to track how the level changes in early pregnancy.
That numbered result is the main difference between a blood Beta hCG test and a home urine pregnancy test. A home urine test usually gives only a positive or negative result, and it depends on the hormone level in urine at the time of testing. A laboratory blood test, by contrast, measures the hormone in a blood sample and reports a value, which a doctor can then interpret alongside the person’s dates and, where relevant, scan findings.
In early pregnancy, hCG levels generally rise quickly, but a single value varies widely from one person to another, and a single number on its own does not tell the whole story. Doctors therefore interpret Beta hCG results together with the date of the last menstrual period, any scan findings, and symptoms, and they often repeat the test after a suitable interval to see the direction of change, rather than relying on one reading alone. This post does not give a week-by-week hCG table, because such tables can look definitive when individual values in fact vary a great deal; only your doctor can interpret your result in context.
When Do Doctors Order a Beta hCG Test?
Doctors may order a Beta hCG test when pregnancy needs to be confirmed, especially in the early weeks, when a urine test result is unclear, or when they want a measured level rather than a simple positive or negative result. On a doctor’s advice, repeat testing may be used to follow early-pregnancy progress. The test may also be discussed in other situations that a doctor judges relevant, but the reason for ordering it, and what the result means for you, is a matter for your doctor, not for a price comparison page.
Preparation for the Beta hCG Test
Preparation for a Beta hCG test is generally straightforward. It is a blood test, so a small blood sample is taken, usually from a vein in the arm. No fasting or special preparation claim is made here: follow your laboratory’s or your doctor’s advice for your own appointment, including anything they tell you about medicines, timing, or documents to bring. If you are unsure about anything, ask the laboratory when you book, rather than relying on general information on the internet.
Beta hCG Reference Ranges: A General Guide
Reference ranges for Beta hCG are general guides only, and they differ between laboratories, methods, and the stage of pregnancy. As a very general reference, laboratories commonly report a low level, often below about 5 mIU/mL, for people who are not pregnant, while levels in pregnancy are higher and rise as pregnancy progresses. These figures are given only as general background: your laboratory’s own reference range, printed on your report, is the one that applies to your result, and your doctor is the right person to interpret it, taking your dates, scan findings, and medical history into account. Do not try to diagnose yourself from a single number.
Getting Your Beta hCG Report
Reports are generally collected from the laboratory where the test was done, either in person or through that laboratory’s online report service, where one is offered. This post does not state a report time for any individual laboratory, because turnaround can vary. Use the laboratory’s own report pages linked below to find its current report service, and keep your receipt or booking reference ready when you check. If your result is needed urgently, tell the laboratory when you book so it can advise you directly.

- IDC online reports
- Dow Lab online reports
- Alnoor online reports
- Ibn-E-Sina online reports
- Aga Khan University Hospital lab reports
How to Choose a Lab for a Beta hCG Test
Price is only one part of the choice. Before booking, check the exact test name the laboratory has listed, so you are comparing the same entry, and confirm whether the price quoted is for the blood test you need. Location and branch, sample collection options, report access, and how quickly you need the result may all matter as much as the price. It can also help to ask the laboratory whether the quoted price includes everything or whether any collection or additional charge applies. This comparison does not declare any laboratory the best: the right choice depends on your own circumstances, your doctor’s advice, and the practical details that matter to you. Where a price is not publicly listed, as with Aga Khan University Hospital here, contact the hospital directly for its current charge.
Where These Prices Come From
Each price in the table comes from that laboratory’s own list page on this site, except for the Chughtai Lab figures, which use the official Chughtai Lab rate as flagged above, and the Aga Khan entry, for which no figure is used. The source pages are:
- Chughtai Lab test list
- Islamabad Diagnostic Centre (IDC) test list
- Dow Lab test list
- Khan Lab test list
- Ibn-E-Sina Clinical Laboratory test list
- Alnoor Diagnostic Centre test list
Dr. Essa Laboratory is not included in the table because no Beta hCG entry could be found on its list page on this site at the time of writing. That does not mean the laboratory never offers the test; it means no price from its list page could be verified for this comparison, so none is shown rather than guessed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Beta hCG test?
It is a blood test that measures the pregnancy hormone hCG and reports a number. Doctors use it to confirm early pregnancy and, on their advice, to track early-pregnancy progress with repeat tests.
How is a blood Beta hCG test different from a home urine pregnancy test?
A home urine test usually gives only a positive or negative result. A blood Beta hCG test gives a measured value, which a doctor interprets with your dates and, where relevant, scan findings, and may repeat to see how the level changes.
How much does a Beta hCG test cost in Pakistan?
In the table above, blood hCG rows range from PKR 1,270 to PKR 2,600, and the full table, including Dow Lab’s differently named Pregnancy Test / HCG entry at PKR 350, runs from PKR 350 to PKR 2,600. Prices are as listed in November 2026 and may vary by branch or city.
Do I need to fast before a Beta hCG test?
No fasting claim is made in this post. Follow your laboratory’s or your doctor’s advice for your own appointment, and ask the laboratory when you book if you are unsure.
What does my Beta hCG result mean?
A single value varies widely between people, and early-pregnancy levels generally rise quickly, but one number alone does not give a diagnosis. Your doctor interprets the result with your dates, scan findings, and history, and often repeats the test. This post is general information only and is not medical advice.
