Test Overview
What Is a Double Marker Test in Surat?
The double marker test is a prenatal screening test performed during your first trimester of pregnancy. The test measures two important markers in your blood to calculate the statistical probability of your developing baby having chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18).
What Does a Double Marker Test in Surat Measure?
This screening test measures specific substances in your blood that can indicate potential health risks for your baby:
• Free Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (Free β-hCG): A hormone produced by your placenta during early pregnancy, where abnormal levels may suggest increased risk for chromosomal conditions.
• Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein-A (PAPP-A): A protein made by your placenta, where low levels during the first trimester may be associated with a higher risk for certain chromosomal abnormalities.
• Risk calculation: Combines your blood test results with your age and ultrasound findings to provide a comprehensive risk assessment.
• Statistical evaluation: Provides probability ratios to help you and your doctor make informed decisions about your pregnancy care.
Who Should Consider a Double Marker Test?
This screening test can benefit many expectant mothers, particularly those with specific risk factors:
• Women aged 35 years and above: Advanced maternal age increases the statistical likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities.
• Those with a family history: A personal or family history of chromosomal conditions may indicate a higher risk.
• Previous pregnancy concerns: If you've previously had a baby with a chromosomal disorder.
• Medical conditions: Pre-existing health conditions like type 1 diabetes or exposure to high radiation levels.
• All pregnant women: As part of routine first-trimester screening for early risk assessment.
• Those seeking early information: Women who want comprehensive prenatal screening for peace of mind.
What Is the Purpose of a Double Marker Test?
The double marker test provides early, non-invasive screening to assess your baby's risk for major chromosomal abnormalities during the first trimester. This screening helps you and your doctor make informed decisions about further diagnostic testing, pregnancy monitoring, and personalised prenatal care planning.
