Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A
- Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A
The PAPP-A test measures Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein A, which helps assess the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in a developing fetus.
Pregnant women, especially during the first trimester, undergo this test as part of prenatal screening.
A blood sample is collected and analyzed for PAPP-A levels.
Low levels of PAPP-A may indicate a higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome.
Additional tests like amniocentesis or NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) are recommended for confirmation.
