Patient's question:
Down syndrome screening result: Serum marker test results, HCG value: 82,156 MOM: 2.0900 AFP value: 44.09 MOM: 0.7600 Total risk calculation result: Calculated risk value Risk threshold (cut-off value) T21 1:269 1:270 T18 1:38,461 1:349 OND 0.7600 2.5 Evaluation conclusion: High risk for T21, low risk for T18 and OND Recommended measures: The risk assessment result of the fetus suffering from Down syndrome is higher than the normal pregnant woman population cut-off threshold in the second trimester, belonging to the high-risk population. It is recommended to consult an obstetrician or go to a qualified unit for prenatal diagnosis.Doctor's answer:
Hello, yes. Prenatal examination---clinical examinations performed on pregnant women and fetuses during pregnancy. Due to the growth and development of the fetus, a series of adaptive changes occur in the various systems of the pregnant woman's body. If these changes exceed the physiological range or the pregnant woman suffers from a certain disease that cannot adapt to the changes of pregnancy, pathological conditions can occur in both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Through prenatal examinations, complications (such as pre-existing diseases in pregnant women like heart disease) and complications (such as diseases that occur during pregnancy like preeclampsia) can be detected and prevented early, abnormal fetal positions can be corrected in a timely manner, and fetal abnormalities can be identified, determining the mode of delivery.
