Double Marker Test Purpose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your doctor has advised it, you must understand its importance in screening for chromosomal abnormality (if any) in the developing fetus. Along with other accurate test measures, the estimated costs may be a bit higher than the usual pregnancy tests and scans. But, if you can afford it, it is worth the cost to help you to determine the risk of disease in the early antenatal stages. But remember, you staying happy is the most important requirement for the healthy growth of your fetus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, it may not be recommended by the doctor but it is an important screening test during pregnancy. Until you do not have a specific reason to avoid this test, it is advisable to do it. Down\u2019s syndrome affects one in every 700 children. You certainly must have heard or known children born with this syndrome. So, it is vital to check out this chromosomal abnormality in your unborn baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Double Marker Test tells you how much you are at risk of carrying a fetus with Down\u2019s syndrome at an initial stage of pregnancy. There are other tests that help detect this syndrome. However, these are done later when it might be too late to take an action. Specific risk factors such as getting pregnant after 35 make you more prone to abnormality. So, it is advisable for you to undergo the test according to your obstetrician\u2019s advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doctor may recommend a triple marker test<\/a> or quad marker test which are also screening tests. These two tests are performed during the 15-20th week of pregnancy. Thus, in case you miss the double marker test, you may opt for a triple or quad marker test later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
