Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My wife is pregnant. Her doctor has suggested us to get a Quadruple marker or triple marker study test. Why does he suggest this test? What is the use of that test?
Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is done to screen for the possibility of certain birth defects in the baby, like Down's syndrome, abnormalities of the brain and spinal cord. The quadruple test or triple marker test should be performed during the 15th and 20th week of pregnancy.
Thank you.
