Is this Down syndrome screening report high-risk? Does it need to be rechecked?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always very uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Please ask if this Down syndrome screening report indicates a high risk level and if a re-examination is needed.

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
It can be reviewed to check for high risk of Trisomy 21. Prenatal screening is just a screening test and has a relatively high rate of false positives and false negatives. Amniocentesis or NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) should be considered to rule out the risk.
Hello, a pregnant woman's blood volume generally starts to increase around week 6 of pregnancy and reaches its peak between weeks 32 and 34, increasing by 30% to 45% compared to pre-pregnancy. During labor, the heart's burden is even greater. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible.
