nt Check Price

NT is the abbreviation of nuchal translucency, which refers to the "neck transparent layer", that is, the maximum thickness between the skin and subcutaneous soft tissue at the horizontal sagittal surface of the fetal cervical vertebrae. The purpose of nuchal translucency examination is to diagnose chromosomal disorders and detect fetal abnormalities caused by various reasons at an early stage of pregnancy. So, how much does the NT inspection cost?

1. How much is the price of NT inspection?

The price may vary in different regions, generally between 100 yuan and 400 yuan. There are two main factors that affect the cost of NT examination:

1. Choose a hospital: Generally speaking, it is better to choose a large hospital because they have advanced medical equipment and outstanding obstetricians. The price of normal delivery is relatively more expensive than that of ordinary clinics and small and medium-sized hospitals, but there will be more safety precautions. Therefore, obstetricians recommend that mothers choose a reliable large and medium-sized comprehensive hospital for NT examination.

2. Whether it belongs to the medical insurance company: Some hospitals belong to the medical insurance company. If the mother who undergoes NT examination has maternity insurance, the expenses can be reimbursed, but the reimbursement limit is different for each hospital. However, it should be noted that prenatal examinations must be conducted within the scope of maternity insurance requirements, otherwise the expenses will not be reimbursed.

2. Prevention and care of Down syndrome in children

1. Genetic counseling: The older the mother is, the higher the risk. The recurrence risk of basic Down syndrome is 1%. Parents of patients with substitution-type Down syndrome should undergo fluorescence in situ hybridization to detect balanced substitution virus carriers: if the mother is D/G substitution, each fetus has a 10% risk; if the father is D/G substitution, the risk is 4%. The vast majority of G/G substitution cases are released, and most of the parents' karyotypes are normal, but 21/21 substitution virus carriers have also been found, and their next generation is 100% likely to suffer from the disease.

2. Prenatal examination is an effective measure to prevent the birth of patients with Down syndrome. Couples with a history of pregnancy with this disease need to undergo prenatal examination when they conceive again, that is, chromosome karyotype analysis. The materials used include amniocentesis in mid-pregnancy for analysis of amniotic fluid cells, villus cells of mid-pregnancy test tube embryos and reticulocytes of mid-pregnancy umbilical cord blood. Prenatal diagnosis of blood cell markers HCG and AFP measurement has certain clinical significance, because it can reduce the one-sidedness of prenatal examination by amniocentesis, remind the existence of high-risk pregnant women, enable these pregnant women to undergo further pregnancy examinations and counseling, and minimize the birth of patients with Down syndrome.
