Patient's question:
This is the first time I'm going to be a mom, and some things are a bit tight. Today, I went for a Down syndrome screening, and it said ue3mom abnormal. I'm a bit worried. The doctor didn't say anything, just said to come back for a follow-up. I'm really anxious. What does Down syndrome screening ue3mom abnormal mean?Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:It's something to be aware of, but don't worry too much about it. The triple screen test is a prenatal screening test for Down syndrome. An abnormal result on the triple screen indicates that the risk of the fetus having Down syndrome should be further evaluated through diagnostic testing, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling. Sometimes, an abnormal result on the first screening will be normal upon retesting. Pay particular attention to the development of the neural tube. Be mindful of taking folic acid and vitamins.
