Down syndrome screening hcg high serious

Down syndrome test is a common prenatal test method for Down syndrome. This method has a 50% to 60% chance of detecting whether the fetus has Down syndrome through the pregnant woman's blood test. However, some pregnant women will find that their hcg levels are high when doing Down syndrome screening. This type of test result causes many pregnant women to worry.

In the screening of Tang poetry and Song poetry, symptoms of high hcg or mom will appear. This symptom is actually normal and will not cause serious adverse effects. Because high hcg levels are a condition that occurs when a woman is pregnant. Down syndrome screening is a test done when a woman is pregnant. Therefore, a high hcg level only indicates that the woman is already pregnant and the growth and development of the fetus is normal.

However, some pregnant women are still very worried about this situation, fearing that the high hCG level is caused by the fetus suffering from Down syndrome. If the pregnant woman is still worried, she can further perform amniocentesis and minimally invasive DNA testing to observe whether the fetus has Down syndrome and whether the fetus's sex chromosomes are normal. However, pregnant women should be reminded that there is a certain probability of causing physical harm to pregnant women and fetuses when doing amniocentesis and minimally invasive DNA testing. Therefore, when conducting amniocentesis and minimally invasive DNA testing, it is important to consider conducting the test later.

When doing Down syndrome screening, a higher hcg level only means a higher blood test index value. But it does not mean that the baby is likely to be a Down syndrome patient. In particular, some people say that when hcg reaches a certain index, it means that the baby is a Down syndrome patient. This view is incorrect.

If a high-risk condition occurs after the Down syndrome screening, the doctor will help you do a more comprehensive and in-depth examination, so expectant mothers do not need to worry too much. After getting the test results, it is best to communicate fully with the doctor, rather than randomly guessing the test results by yourself, which will increase your stress and be detrimental to the growth and development of the fetus.
