What Does The Following NT Scan Report Suggest?
Hello Doc
I am 28 years old and 14 weeks preganant. Had my NT scan and double marker test done 10 days ago and result says trisomy 21 adjusted risk is 1:796. PAPP-A is 0.279 MoM . NB length is 2.1 mm.
Doc suggested for Amnio fluid test. As it invloves risk of miscarraige and other complications like infection to the fetus post procedure, bit worried if i actually have to undergo Amniocentesis for such trisomy 21 adjusted risk of 1:796.
Please suggest.
