What is a Double Marker Test?
A Double Marker Test is a prenatal blood screening test usually performed between 9 and 13 weeks of pregnancy. The test measures two important pregnancy-related substances in the mother’s blood:
- Free Beta hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)
- PAPP-A (Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A)
The results are analyzed together with maternal age and ultrasound findings to estimate the risk of chromosomal conditions in the baby.
Who Should Consider a Double Marker Test?
- Pregnant women between 9 and 13 weeks gestation
- Women above 35 years of age
- Family history of genetic disorders
- Abnormal ultrasound findings
- Couples seeking early fetal health reassurance
Even low-risk pregnancies benefit from early screening and informed prenatal care.
Why Early Screening Matters
- Understand potential risks earlier
- Plan further diagnostic testing if required
- Make informed healthcare decisions
- Monitor pregnancy more effectively
- Reduce uncertainty and anxiety
Early knowledge leads to better pregnancy planning and improved prenatal care.
What Does the Test Screen For?
Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)
Caused by an extra chromosome 21.
Edwards Syndrome (Trisomy 18)
A rare chromosomal condition affecting development.
Other Chromosomal Abnormalities
May indicate need for further diagnostic testing.
How to Prepare for Your Antenatal Test
Proper preparation helps ensure accurate scan results and smooth appointment experience. Following medical instructions before your visit improves diagnostic accuracy.
Hydration Requirements
For early pregnancy scans, a full bladder improves image clarity. Drinking water before your scan helps provide a clear view of the uterus and developing baby.
Fasting Requirements for Blood Tests
Some blood tests, such as blood sugar test, require fasting for 8 to 10 hours. This helps ensure accurate measurement of blood glucose levels and metabolic health.
Documents to Bring
Please bring your Emirates ID for registration, previous ultrasound reports if available, earlier blood test reports (if pregnancy care started elsewhere), and a doctor’s referral letter if it has been provided.
