What Is Pre-Natal Screening?
Pre-natal screening refers to a series of specialized tests performed during pregnancy to assess the baby’s health and detect any potential chromosomal or genetic abnormalities at an early stage. These tests help expectant mothers and doctors monitor fetal development closely and plan the right course of care.
Our center offers comprehensive pre-natal diagnostic tests such as:
- Marker Tests (Double, Triple, and Quadruple Tests)
- NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)
- Amniocentesis
- CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling)
Our Pre-Natal Screening Services
1. Marker Test (Double/Triple/Quadruple)
These blood tests help evaluate the likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome, Trisomy 18, and neural tube defects.
Depending on the stage of pregnancy, your doctor may suggest:
- Double Marker Test (First trimester)
- Triple or Quadruple Marker Test (Second trimester)
At Shree Diagnostics, all these tests are performed using high-accuracy biochemistry analyzers for precise and reliable results.
2. NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Test)
NIPT is one of the most advanced and safe screening options for expecting mothers. It analyzes small fragments of fetal DNA circulating in the mother’s blood to detect chromosomal abnormalities without any risk to the baby.
It can detect:
- Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)
- Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18)
- Patau Syndrome (Trisomy 13)
- Certain sex chromosome conditions
Our center partners with trusted genetic laboratories to ensure fast turnaround times and complete confidentiality of results.
3. Amniocentesis
Amniocentesis is a diagnostic test that involves extracting a small amount of amniotic fluid to examine fetal cells for genetic and chromosomal disorders.
It is recommended when:
- Screening results are abnormal
- There is a family history of genetic conditions
- The mother’s age or other factors increase risk
The procedure is performed under real-time ultrasound guidance by experienced MD Radiologists to ensure safety and comfort.
4. CVS (Chorionic Villus Sampling)
Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) is an early diagnostic test that checks for chromosomal abnormalities by analyzing placental tissue. It is usually done between 10 to 13 weeks of pregnancy.
CVS helps in early detection of genetic disorders so that medical decisions can be made well in advance.
At our center, CVS is carried out under sterile conditions by qualified specialists with utmost care.
