It only tells whether the unborn baby is at risk of developing certain abnormalities and further testing is required to confirm the diagnosis. The decision to recommend the Estriol Unconjugated test is often based on maternal age, medical history, and individual risk factors for chromosomal abnormalities. Pregnant women should consult their doctor to determine the most appropriate screening or diagnostic test based on their specific conditions.
