Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

First-trimester screening for Down's syndrome should be done in all pregnancy between 11 to 14 weeks. The first-trimester screening for Down's syndrome includes ultrasound for NT/NB scan and on the same day, blood is taken for the dual marker (B hCG and PAPP-A). Thereafter, using maternal age, values of NT scan and values of B hCG and PAPP-A, a risk ratio if Down's syndrome is obtained using computer software.
