Should I have a non-invasive test or amniocentesis if my HCG value is high during the prenatal screening?

Patient's question:

Early prenatal screening at 123 days showed a low risk, but the HCG value was 0.2 higher. Is the chance of having a child with Down syndrome high? Is it necessary to have a non-invasive test or amniocentesis?

Doctor's answer:

A low-risk result from the early triple screen only indicates a relatively small possibility of the fetus having chromosomal abnormalities reoccur. If a comprehensive analysis during the thorough examination finds it to be low-risk, further detailed examination is not necessary. Good luck with your pregnancy! The above advice is for the question "Early triple screen at 123 days, blood test result is low-risk." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
