Triple Marker Test

What is Triple Marker Test

⁤The Triple Marker Test is a pregnancy blood test that looks for three substances produced by the fetus and placenta: alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and estriol. ⁤⁤Generally, this test is performed between weeks 15 and 20 of the second trimester of pregnancy. ⁤⁤It assists in assessing the risks associated with specific birth defects such as neural tube defects, trisomy 18, and Down syndrome. ⁤⁤Although the Triple Marker Test doesn't give a definite diagnosis, it shows if additional diagnostic tests might be needed. ⁤

Triple Marker Test Procedure

The Triple Marker Test is an easy procedure that includes taking a blood sample from the pregnant woman. No special preparation is required for this test but it's important to let your healthcare provider know about any medications you're using. The blood sample is then examined in a lab to measure the levels of AFP, hCG, and estriol. Generally, the results are ready within a week and your healthcare provider will go over them with you, explaining their significance and whether further testing is recommended based on the results. This test is a helpful tool for detecting and managing potential fetal health problems early on.⁤

Frequently Asked Questions

The Triple Marker Test is a blood test done during pregnancy to check for certain birth defects in the baby. It measures the levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and estriol in the blood.

The Double Marker Test checks hCG and PAPP-A for chromosomal issues like Down syndrome, while the Triple Marker Test includes AFP, hCG, and estriol for a wider range of birth defect risks.

A positive Triple Marker Test shows a higher chance of fetal chromosomal issues or birth defects, which suggest more tests are needed to confirm the findings.

The triple marker test can accurately detect a risk of Down syndrome and other abnormalities about 70-80% of the time, but it is not always conclusive. Additional diagnostic tests are often needed for confirmation.
