Preeclampsia is a disorder that can develop during pregnancy and affect the health of both the mother and fetus. If not detected and treated in time, it can lead to serious complications such as damage to vital organs, premature birth, or even death. For this reason, it is important to conduct preeclampsia tests to detect any early signs of this condition and take preventive measures.
What do preeclampsia tests involve?
The first-trimester preeclampsia test measures two different proteins in the mother’s blood: pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). PAPP-A levels tend to be lower in women who develop preeclampsia, while hCG levels tend to be higher. A first-trimester preeclampsia test can help identify women at higher risk of developing preeclampsia and other pregnancy complications, allowing for early intervention and better outcomes for the mother and fetus.
The second and third-trimester preeclampsia test measures levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and free beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (fβ-hCG) in the mother’s blood. It also measures blood pressure and blood flow through the uterine arteries. This allows doctors to take measures to reduce risks and improve the health of the mother and fetus
How are Preeclampsia Tests Conducted?
Preeclampsia tests are performed through a simple blood extraction. The process is similar to any other blood test and is not painful or invasive.
Is it necessary to perform both Preeclampsia tests during pregnancy?
Yes, it is recommended to perform both the first-trimester and the second and third-trimester Preeclampsia tests. This detects early signs of the condition and preventive measures can be taken.
Who should undergo Preeclampsia tests?
It is recommended that all pregnant women undergo Preeclampsia tests to detect any early signs of the condition and take preventive measures. It is especially important for women with risk factors, particularly those with high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, multiple pregnancies, and a history of Preeclampsia in previous pregnancies.
How long does it take to get Preeclampsia test results?
Preeclampsia test results generally take a few days to be available. It is important to schedule an appointment with the doctor to discuss the results and take preventive measures if necessary.
