Q. What Do The Triple Marker Test Indicate?

A. It’s a screening test and not a diagnostic test and can only predict any possible abnormalities or genetic disorders in a baby. There are chances of false results. Therefore, doctors can prescribe several other scans or diagnose if required for better clarity or accuracy.

Q. What Are The Disorders That Can Be Screened With Triple Marker Test?

A. It can detect Trisomy 18, Down syndrome, Neural tube defects, and other Chromosomal abnormalities in a fetus to begin the treatment as soon as possible.

Interpretation Of The Test Results:

It is indeed helpful in diagnosing any genetic disorders in the fetus, yet the results or Triple Marker Test Normal Values largely depend on several factors, including:

Purpose of the Triple Marker Test

The Triple Marker Test is crucial in identifying the risk of certain genetic conditions in the developing fetus, making it a vital part of prenatal care. 

  • Screening for Chromosomal Abnormalities—The test helps to identify the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, including Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and Trisomy 18. Abnormal AFP, hCG, and estriol may indicate a higher risk of these conditions.
  • Detects Neural Tube Defects—High levels of AFP suggest the presence of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida or anencephaly, in which the fetal spine or brain does not develop properly. 
  • Assess Pregnancy Complications- The Triple Marker Test in Pregnancy can also provide insights into potential complications like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or placental issues.

When is the Triple Marker test needed?

The Triple Marker blood test in Mumbai is recommended during pregnancy under specific conditions when there is a need to assess the risk of genetic abnormalities or congenital disabilities. Here are the primary scenarios when the test is considered necessary:

  • The people above 35 years
  • had a child with any congenital disability previously 
  • Have a family history of genetic disorders
  • Conceive using IVF
  • Have pre-existing health issues like diabetes or high blood pressure
  • Routine testing
  • Family history of genetic disorders
  • Abnormal Ultrasound tests
  • Multiple Pregnancies (Twins or More)

Preparation for the Triple Marker Test 

There is no such preparation is required-

  • Timing of the Test—The triple marker blood test in Mumbai is performed between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. 
  • No Special Fasting Required—You are not required to fast before the test. You can eat and drink as usual.
  • Inform Your Healthcare Provider—Consult your doctor about your condition, including gestational age, weight, and any relevant medical history. It is also important to inform your healthcare provider if you're taking any medicines or supplements, as some substances may affect the test results.

The procedure of the Triple Marker Test

The procedure for the Triple Marker Test is straightforward and involves the following simple steps:

  • The healthcare provider will clean the arm area with an antiseptic solution and tie a tourniquet to the arm.
  • Next, the healthcare provider will use a sterile needle to draw a small amount of blood from the vein of your arm. 
  • The blood is collected into a vial or test tube. Once the blood sample is collected, the phlebotomist removes the needle and applies gentle pressure to the puncture site to stop bleeding. Then, he puts a bandage over the site.
  • The sample will then be sent to a lab, where it will be analyzed to measure the levels of three specific markers.
  • The laboratory uses these measurements and information about your gestational age, weight, and other factors to identify the risk of chromosomal abnormalities (such as Down syndrome) and neural tube defects.
  • The results of the triple marker test in Mumbai will be available within three days of sample collection. 

After the blood draw, you can return to your regular activities. There is typically no need for special care, but if you experience any discomfort or bruising at the blood draw site, applying a cold compress can help alleviate symptoms.

What do the Triple Marker Test reports indicate?

The Triple Marker Test report provides an assessment of the risk of certain genetic conditions and congenital disabilities based on the levels of three specific markers in the mother's blood: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and Estriol. Here’s how the results are typically interpreted:

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP):

The normal levels of AFP indicate a low risk of neural tube defects and other chromosomal abnormalities.

  • The high levels of AFP indicate neural tube defects such as spina bifida or anencephaly.
  •  Abdominal wall defects in the fetus, such as gastroschisis.
  •  Multiple pregnancies (e.g., twins), as more AFP is produced.

Low AFP levels indicate Down syndrome, Trisomy 18, incorrect estimated date, where the pregnancy is earlier than believed.

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)

  • The normal levels of hCG mean a risk of chromosomal abnormalities
  • The high levels of hCG indicate Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), molar pregnancy (a rare complication involving abnormal growth of the placenta), and multiple pregnancies.
  • The low hcg levels indicate trisomy 18, ectopic pregnancy, and potential miscarriages. 

uE3- Estriol Unconjugated

The normal estriol level is an estrogen produced by the placenta and the fetus. Normal levels are generally reassuring, indicating a lower risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

The low levels of estriol levels may indicate Down syndrome, trisomy, adrenal gland problems in the fetus, and placental insufficiency. 

The test results are interpreted as a combination of these three markers and factors like the mother's age, weight, ethnicity, and gestational age.

If the results suggest an elevated risk, your medical professional may recommend additional tests, such as amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), or a detailed ultrasound, to provide more definitive information.

 Overall, the Triple Marker test in Mumbai helps identify pregnancies at higher risk for certain conditions, allowing for timely follow-up and informed decision-making.
