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 comprehensive package specifically designed for the first trimester. This package includes 21 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.

HbA1c is a blood test that is used to help diagnose and monitor people with diabetes. It is also sometimes called a haemoglobin A1c, glycated haemoglobin or glycosylated haemoglobin.
A blood type test is a simple blood test that aims to determine a persons blood type accurately, according to The types of proteins or antigens that appear on the surface of his red blood cells.
Vitamin B9 plays a key role in breaking down homocysteine, an amino acid that can exert harmful effects in the body if it is present in high amounts. Folate is also needed to produce healthy red blood cells and is critical during periods of rapid growth, such as during pregnancy and fetal development
A bilirubin test measures the levels of bilirubin in your blood. Bilirubin (bil-ih-ROO-bin) is a yellowish pigment that is made during the normal breakdown of red blood cells. Bilirubin passes through the liver and is eventually excreted out of the body. Higher than normal levels of bilirubin may indicate different types of liver or bile duct problems

The determination of IgG antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii is used to assess the serological status to T. gondii and is indicative of an acute or latent infection. The detection of IgM antibodies to T. gondii indicates an acute, recent or reactivated Toxoplasma infection.
IgM antibodies are the only class produced by an unborn baby. When Toxoplasma IgM antibodies are present in a newborn, they indicate a congenital infection. If the molecular test is positive for T. gondii DNA, then the person tested has an active toxoplasmosis infection.
