Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Road, Muhammed Ibn Saud, Dammam 32241 - 145KM
During the first trimester of pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes significant changes due to the release of hormones that affect almost every organ. One of the most prominent signs of pregnancy is the absence of a menstrual period. As the first few weeks progress, some women may experience fatigue, lower back pain, nausea, vomiting, and food cravings. To monitor the health of both the mother and fetus, ACL offers a basic package specifically designed for the first trimester. This package includes 15 tests that assess essential vitamins, minerals, and certain viruses. Additionally, it includes tests for HBA1c, body mass index, and blood pressure. It's important to note that fasting is not required for this package, and results are typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours.
Non-invasive prenatal tests (NIPTs) are primarily utilized to screen fetuses for genetic abnormalities. These tests involve obtaining a small blood sample, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA). cfDNA is a type of DNA originating in the placenta and contains genetic information about the baby.
NIPTs are generally offered to pregnant women who are at risk of giving birth to a baby with chromosomal or genetic disorders such as Down Syndrome, Edwards syndrome, or Patau syndrome. Risk factors for such conditions may include a history of pregnancies with chromosomal abnormalities or a personal/family history of chromosomal abnormalities.
It is worth mentioning that NIPTs can also determine the gender of the fetus, as they examine the sex chromosomes. These tests can be performed as early as 10 weeks into the pregnancy, and the results are typically available within 7 to 10 days.
