Down syndrome screening is an important part of prenatal testing for pregnant women, which estimates the risk of fetal congenital defects by measuring the concentrations of alpha-fetoprotein, chorionic gonadotropin, and free estriol in maternal serum. This test is crucial for early detection of children with Down syndrome, although a negative result does not completely rule out the risk, it is significant for protecting fetal health and family happiness.
At 17 weeks and 4 days pregnant, the HCG test result was 36.00 MOM, and the AFP test result was 32.00 MOM and 0.69. The NTD risk screening was negative, with a Trisomy 21 risk of 1/450 and a Trisomy 18 risk of 1/50,000. Assistance in identifying fetal gender is needed, and a detailed examination is recommended.
