Question
Consultation on the second trimester Down syndrome screening results: The risk of trisomy 18 is 1 in 19,600, the risk of trisomy 21 is 1 in 1,400, the NTD risk screening is negative, and all other values are within the normal range. However, the MOM value of hAFP is 0.57, which is lower than the lowest normal value. What impact does this have? What could be the cause? Thank you!!!
Answer
Disease Analysis: Hello, according to your situation, everything before this is considered qualified. Guidance Opinion: A low AFP level mainly reflects an abnormality in the fetal liver or kidneys. It is recommended to continue to observe for a period of time and then recheck. Your value is not too low and there is no problem with it. The normal AFPMOM range is 0.65-2.5.
