Understanding Quadruple Marker with Graph - 2nd Trimester in Ghaziabad


What is Quadruple Marker with Graph - 2nd Trimester in Ghaziabad?

A Quadruple Marker with Graph - 2nd Trimester is a prenatal screening test typically conducted between the 14th and 22nd weeks (ideal 15-20 weeks, i.e., second trimester) of pregnancy. It tells about the risk of specific chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18), neural tube defects (such as spina bifida), and anencephaly (a brain defect) in the fetus. It is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Ghaziabad. 

This test measures the levels of four specific biomarkers in the mother’s blood: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG), Unconjugated Estriol (uE3), and Inhibin A. The levels of these markers, when assessed collectively along with maternal age, gestational age, and ultrasound findings, help determine the likelihood of certain fetal abnormalities that can affect the baby’s growth and development. 

In addition to the traditional Quad marker analysis, the inclusion of a graphical representation enhances the interpretability of results.  

No special preparation is required before undergoing a Quadruple Marker with Graph - 2nd Trimester test. However, a woman needs to provide informed consent before undertaking this test. The laboratory personnel will explain the purpose, benefits, and limitations of this test.

What does Quadruple Marker with Graph - 2nd Trimester measure?

Inhibin A

The Inhibin A test measures the level of inhibin A in the blood. It is a hormone primarily produced by the ovaries in women. It plays a key role in regulating menstrual cycle and ovarian function by inhibiting the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). During pregnancy, elevated levels of Inhibin A may point towards a risk of certain chromosomal abnormalities like Down’s syndrome etc., in the fetus. 

The Inhibin A test is particularly useful in assessing ovarian function, fertility assessment, prenatal screening and diagnosing certain ovarian cancers.

HCG Beta Total Quantitative, Maternal

An HCG Beta Total Quantitative, Maternal test measures the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in the blood. hCG is released in the blood during pregnancy and can be detected as early as 10 days after conception. The levels of this hormone gradually rise every 2 to 3 days (or 48 to 72 hours) and peak around 8 to 11 weeks after conception. After reaching the peak, the hCG levels decrease and remain steady for the rest of the pregnancy.

Unconjugated Estriol

The Unconjugated Estriol test is used to measure Unconjugated Estriol (uE3), a type of estrogen that is particularly significant during pregnancy. It is produced by both the fetus and the placenta. The levels of uE3 in the mother's blood can give insights into the baby's well-being and can be crucial for identifying certain risks and complications in pregnancy.

Alpha Feto Protein, Maternal

An Alpha Feto Protein, Maternal test measures the amount of Alpha Fetoprotein in expectant mothers usually during the second trimester (14th and 22nd weeks). AFP is a protein produced by the fetus, primarily by the fetal liver and yolk sac, and it passes into the mother's blood. The test is typically performed to screen for certain fetal abnormalities, particularly neural tube defects (NTDs) such as spina bifida and anencephaly, as well as chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome (trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), etc. 

Detecting these abnormalities early in pregnancy allows for appropriate medical management and intervention.
