What has to done for dual marker test showing high risk for Down's syndrome?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have done a dual marker test. My age is 34 years old. The disorder is Down's syndrome. Result increased. Final risk 1:212. Age risk : 1:433. Cut off : 1:250.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The risk as mentioned is high. So the next step would be to get a quadruple marker at 14 to 16 weeks and if positive then amniocentesis for fetal cell karyotyping can be done to get a conclusive result to rule out Down's syndrome. If you prefer non invasive test for the same then you can opt for NIPT test or non invasive prenatal testing.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
