This test helps assess the risk of certain genetic conditions in the fetus
The Quadruple Marker Test is a vital prenatal screening that measures four specific markers in a pregnant woman's blood: alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), unconjugated estriol (uE3), and inhibin-A. This test is typically conducted during the second trimester of pregnancy (usually between 15 to 20 weeks) to evaluate the risk of certain congenital conditions and genetic disorders in the developing fetus, such as Down syndrome, Trisomy 18, and neural tube defects.
The Quadruple Marker Test is important for several reasons:
1. Risk Assessment: It provides valuable information regarding the likelihood of the fetus having specific genetic disorders, allowing for informed decisions and planning.
2. Early Intervention: If a high risk is detected, further diagnostic testing can be performed to confirm any potential issues, enabling timely medical interventions.
3. Peace of Mind: For many expectant parents, knowing the risk can alleviate concerns and help them prepare for the future.
The Quadruple Marker Test is recommended for:
Pregnant Women: Especially those over 35 years old or with a family history of genetic disorders.
Women with Risk Factors: Including previous pregnancies affected by congenital anomalies or specific ethnic backgrounds that may increase the risk of certain conditions.
Those Seeking Information: Any expecting mother who wishes to gain insights into their baby's health during pregnancy.
