Tests
An AFP tumor marker test is a blood test that measures the level of AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) in a sample of your blood. AFP is a protein that the liver makes when its cells are growing and dividing to make new cells. AFP levels are normally high in a fetus, but after birth, they drop very low. Healthy children and adults who aren’t pregnant have very little AFP in their blood.
Tests
An AFP test is a blood test that measures the level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in your blood when you are pregnant. The test checks your baby's risk of having certain birth defects and genetic problems , but it does not diagnose any health conditions. The test is usually done between 15 and 20 weeks of pregnancy .
Tests
An anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) test measures the amount of AMH in a blood sample. In males, the testicles (or testes), which are glands that make sperm and hormones, make AMH. In females, the ovaries, which are glands that store and develop eggs and make hormones, make AMH.
Tests
Cord blood is the blood left in the umbilical cord after a baby is born. The umbilical cord connects a mother to her unborn baby during pregnancy . It contains blood vessels that bring nourishment to the baby and remove waste products.
Tests
A blood test done near the end of the first trimester of pregnancy to screen for common chromosomal defects. This test screens for blood levels of both free beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin (beta-hCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and can detect trisomies of chromosomes 21 (Down's syndrome), chromosome 18 (Edward's syndrome), and chromosome 13 (Patau's syndrome).
Tests
Quantifies hepatitis B virus DNA to guide treatment decisions and monitor response.
Tests
An HIV viral load test measures the amount of HIV in a sample of your blood. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. The test looks for genetic material from the virus in your blood. These tests are called molecular tests or nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT or NAT). There are several types of NAAT tests. A PCR test is one type of NAAT that may be used to find HIV.
Tests
The hormone detected by pregnancy tests; also used in medicine to assess certain pregnancies and tumours.
Tests
Prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening is a blood test given during pregnancy . During pregnancy, some of the fetus's DNA circulates in the mother's bloodstream. A cfDNA screening checks this DNA to find out if the baby is more likely to have certain conditions caused by an abnormal number of chromosomes , such as Down syndrome .
Tests
A prenatal panel is a group of blood tests done in early pregnancy . The tests check for diseases and infections that can affect the health of you and your developing baby . The results of the tests can guide treatments, which may help prevent serious complications. A prenatal panel usually includes the following tests:
Tests
A progesterone test measures the level of progesterone in a sample of your blood. Progesterone is a hormone that's made mainly by the ovaries, which are two glands in the female reproductive system that contain eggs.
