Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of a fetus suffering from Down syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The triple screen test is a prenatal screening test for Down syndrome. The purpose is to determine the risk of the fetus having Down syndrome by testing the pregnant woman's blood. If the test results show a risk below 1/270, it indicates a low risk, with the chance of the fetus having Down syndrome being less than 1%. However, if the risk is higher than 1/270, it means the risk of the fetus being affected is higher, and amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling should be performed. Only if the results of amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling are normal can Down syndrome be completely ruled out.
