Hope this helps some. Jan " Typing is my life " Remember.. WSTPMTR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 I don't do that many prenatal labs, but I really don't think it is triple screen, possibly HELLP screen, which I have seen before, but not positive. Glucola would be correct. Also, Group B Strep is what they check for in prenatal labs rather than group E.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 There is a triple screen. I remember it being referred to when I was pregnant but I didn't have it done, so I didn't remember what it measured. However, here's one explanation I found: Genetic testing, of any sort, usually brings a large debate. The alphfetoprotein (AFP) or triple screen are no exceptions. The AFP test, sometimes called the MSAFP or maternal serum AFP, is where a blood sample is drawn from the mother to check the levels of AFP. AFP is a protein secreted by the fetal liver and excreted in the mother's blood. It is generally used for detecting neural tube defects, but it can also indicate: abdominal wall defects esophageal and duodenal atresia, some renal and urinary tract anomalies turner syndrome, some low birth weight fetuses, and placental complications. A low level of AFP could also indicate Down Syndrome. The triple screen measures not only AFP, but hCG and estriol as well. This test is more accurate and screens for additional genetic problems, and is beginning to replace the standard AFP. scooska@... wrote: > Hi All, > > Need help with prenatal laboratories: > > Blood type is A+, antibody screen is negative, hemoglobin 13.5, > hematocrit40.1, Papanicolaou was negative, rubella immune, rapid plasma > reagin is nonreactive, hepatitis B is negative, Chlamydia is negative, > gonorrhea is negative, group E strep is negative, " triple screen " is > negative, and " glucola " was 90. > > is triple screen and glucola correct? > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
