Book A Double Marker Test in Pune
A double marker test is a prenatal screening test that measures the levels of two substances in a pregnant woman's blood: human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). These substances are produced by the placenta and the fetus, respectively. The double marker test is typically performed between 11 and 14 weeks of pregnancy. It is used to screen for Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome, and spina bifida. A small sample of blood will be drawn from your vein and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The results of the test will be available within a few days.
If your results are abnormal, your doctor may recommend additional testing, such as an amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. These tests are more invasive, but they can provide a definitive diagnosis of a fetal abnormality.
