I tested positive for afp in my quad test my levels were 1.484 what does that mean? what are the odds of my son having spina bifida or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
AFP and spinal bifid: If the AFP is positive it is best to do an ultrasound of the fetus and if a spina bifida or myelomeningocele is present it can usually be detected by 18 to 20 weeks of fetal age.
