What are the consequences if one indicator in the Down syndrome screening is too high?

Patient's question:

What are the consequences if one indicator in the Down syndrome screening is too high? (Freeβ-hcG result is 58.91 g/ml, MOM value is 3.97 MOM)

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, the results of the Down syndrome screening are abnormal. It is more likely that the risk of fetal illness has increased, and further tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Recommendations: It is recommended that you undergo further testing, such as amniocentesis or fetal umbilical cord blood testing, to determine whether the fetus has any abnormalities.
