Patient's question:
Once during a prenatal check-up, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said my baby had a problem and that I needed to have an amniocentesis. Then, I would like to ask everyone here how to interpret the results of the amniocentesis cell chromosome test. I hope everyone can explain this question to me as soon as possible.Doctor's answer:
The identification rate of amniotic fluid chromosomes for fetal chromosomal diseases is greater than 99%, with only a very small number failing to be cultured successfully. If the chromosomal examination shows no obvious abnormalities in the 400~500 band range, it should be stated that no obvious abnormalities were found within the tested range of chromosomes. This does not represent that the fetus does not have other malformations, as some congenital malformations, such as heart disease, cleft lip and palate, or other limb deformities, are not associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, it is necessary to combine fetal magnetic resonance imaging to rule out structural growth and development abnormalities in the fetus.
