Patient's question:
Risk of Down Syndrome: 1:812Risk of Trisomy 18: 1:42321
Risk of Open Neural Tube Defect: 1.07
Is this normal? Should I do NIPT?
Doctor's answer:
It involves testing the concentration of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), free estriol (uE3), and Inhibin A in a pregnant woman's blood, and combining the pregnant woman's age to precisely calculate the risk of each pregnant woman carrying a fetus with Down syndrome. We know that Down syndrome has a significant impact on children. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression is rapid, and it can bring great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to the child's condition and take the child for treatment in a timely manner.
