Hi doctor,
I had an NT scan and a double marker test at 12 weeks and five days of pregnancy. The report is as follows.
HCG, Free Beta 69.00 ng/mL equivalent to 1.81 Corr.MOM's
PAPP-A 1.40 mIU/mL equivalent to 0.36 Corr.MOM's
Trisomy 21 (Down) 1:250
Trisomy 18/13 1:100
CRL 62.9mm
Gestational age by CRL 12 + 4
Gestation age on the day of serum taking 12 + 5
Nuchal Translucency 2.00mm
NT'Mom's 1.23Mom
Nasal Bone Present
Measured by a radiologist.
Screen positive
'The calculated risk for Trisomy 21 (with nuchal translucency) is above the cutoff, which indicates an increased risk. After the result of the Trisomy 21 test (with NT) it is expected that among 156 women with the same data, there is one woman with trisomy 21 pregnancy and 155 women with not affected pregnancies.The PAPP-A level is low.The calculated risk by PRISCA depends on the accuracy of the information provided by the referring physician.'
I wanted to know about the risk if in the first-trimester screening window is positive.
Please suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns. I have reviewed the report (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). It shows an increased risk in the first-trimester screening. You should go for amniocentesis at 16 weeks gestation to rule out any chromosomal anomalies in the fetus.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards.

Should I need amniocentesis?.. gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Usually, quadruple test is done at 16 to 18 weeks. Sensitivity at 19 weeks is doubtful. Amniocentesis is a good diagnostic test. It will be a confirmatory test, and you ... Read full
