A member asked:
Hi i m 23yrs. 15 weeks pregnant. i had undergone tripple marker test in my 14th week. it is a statistical report showing neural tube defect risk 51%.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neural tube defect: Triple marker its not supposed to be done at 14 weeks. It is done from 15 to 20 weeks. I would repeat it if thats the case or ask for a recalculation. Wrong dates its a common error for positive results. If it still positive consider evaluation by a maternal fetal medicine expert or level ii ultrasound with or without amnicentecisis.
