Double Marker Test

The double marker test is a prenatal screening test that is used to assess the risk of Down syndrome and other chromosomal abnormalities in a developing fetus. The test involves a blood test, which is usually done between 10-14 weeks of pregnancy, and measures two specific proteins in the mother’s blood: pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The results of the test are combined with the mother’s age and other factors to calculate the risk of the baby having a chromosomal abnormality.

If you are pregnant and are interested in getting a double marker test, you can schedule an appointment at Sri Aurobindo Hospital in Indore. The hospital has a team of experienced doctors and healthcare professionals who can perform the test and provide you with accurate results. The test is safe and simple, and usually takes only a few minutes to complete.

Before the test, you will need to provide a small blood sample. The sample will be sent to a laboratory for analysis, and you will receive the results within a few days. If the test shows an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities, your doctor may recommend additional testing, such as a chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis, to confirm the diagnosis.

Overall, the double marker test is an important tool for assessing the health of your developing baby and ensuring that you receive the best possible care throughout your pregnancy. If you have any questions or concerns about the test, don’t hesitate to speak with your doctor or healthcare provider at Sri Aurobindo Hospital in Indore.
