Patient's question:
Serological prenatal screening report: Trisomy 21 risk 1/270, reference value greater than 270. The doctor specifically reminds: The fetus has a high risk of Trisomy 21, an amniocentesis needs to be performed.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the current risk result is above the reference value, which is considered high risk. Generally, further tests are recommended, so it is advised that you follow your doctor's advice and undergo amniocentesis.Advice:
1. Prenatal screening is only an assessment method, not a diagnostic method. Therefore, it only indicates high risk or low risk, without a definitive statement of whether there is a malformation or not.
2. If the risk is low, it can be relatively reassuring, as the likelihood of malformation is lower. If the risk is high, it is recommended to undergo amniocentesis to further determine whether it is truly a malformed fetus.
