Why is this test prescribed?

The Quadruple (Quad) Marker is a second-trimester antenatal screening test. It calculates the statistical risk of the fetus having certain chromosomal abnormalities or neural tube defects:

  • Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome): Often indicated by low AFP/UE3 and high Inhibin A/β-hCG.
  • Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome): Generally indicated by low levels across all markers.
  • Neural Tube Defects (NTDs): Such as Spina Bifida, which is associated with abnormally high levels of Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP).

Note: This is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. A “High Risk” result simply means further confirmatory testing (like NIPT or amniocentesis) may be advised by your doctor.

What We Ensure for a Quadruple Marker Test

The Quad Marker risk graph is highly sensitive to the inputs captured at booking. To avoid delayed reports or inaccurate Risk Ratios (MoM), we strictly verify the following details before processing:

1. Gestational Age (GA) Mismatches

The Risk: If the weeks/days provided don’t match the ultrasound, the MoM calculation will be fundamentally flawed.

Our Fix: We mandate the latest USG/Anomaly scan details before sample processing to lock in the exact GA.

2. Maternal Weight & History

The Risk: Incorrect weight, diabetes status, or smoking history shifts the software’s baseline risk estimation.

Our Fix: We re-verify these fields via our screening summary format to ensure the FMF-certified software gets perfect data.

3. Testing Outside the Window

The Risk: Testing before 14 weeks or after 22 weeks invalidates the quadruple marker algorithms.

Our Fix: We cross-check your dates and advise you to follow your obstetrician’s exact timeline.

4. Missing Graph Reports

The Risk: If only the biochemical values are seen initially, the report may appear incomplete until the risk graph page is included.

Our Fix: We ensure the full PDF set (which includes the dedicated FMF graph page) is delivered to your WhatsApp.

How to Read the Quad Marker Report

Understanding Your Results

  • MoM (Multiple of Median): Your marker level adjusted against the median for your exact gestational week.
  • Risk Ratio: A probability estimate (e.g., 1 in 1374) calculated by the FMF-certified SSDW Lab 6 software.
  • Risk Category: Displayed as “Low Risk”, “Medium Risk”, or “High Risk.”.
Missing Graph? The risk graph is often generated on a separate page within the same PDF document, usually taking an extra 3-4 hours after the raw biochemical values are ready.

FAQs on the Quadruple Marker Test in Jamshedpur

When is the Quadruple Marker test done?
It is strictly recommended to be performed during the 14th to 22nd week of pregnancy as a second-trimester screening profile.
What does a High Risk result mean?
A High Risk result does not mean your baby definitely has a chromosomal condition; it simply means the statistical probability is higher than the standard cut-off. Your obstetrician will typically advise a highly accurate confirmatory test, such as NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) or amniocentesis, to know for sure.
Is the Quadruple Marker test safe for my baby?
Yes, it is completely safe. The Quad Marker is a non-invasive screening that only requires a standard blood sample drawn from the mother’s arm. It poses zero risk of miscarriage or harm to the fetus.
What documents are mandatory for booking this test?
To generate an accurate, FMF-certified risk graph, our lab requires your latest ultrasound (USG Level 2 / Anomaly Scan) report, maternal weight, date of birth, diabetic/smoking history, and your doctor’s prescription.
Can I take the Quad test if I missed the Double Marker test?
Yes. If you missed the first-trimester screening (Double Marker) window (11–13 weeks), the Quadruple Marker test is the standard and highly recommended second-trimester alternative to screen for chromosomal anomalies and neural tube defects.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required. The maternal serum sample can be collected at any time, usually between 6:30 AM and 2:30 PM for our home collection slots.
How soon will I get the report?
Reports are generated within 48–60 hours from sample collection. They are shared securely via WhatsApp and email as a PDF.
What does the Quad test add compared to the Triple Marker?
The Quadruple Marker includes Inhibin A in addition to AFP, β-hCG, and UE3. Adding Inhibin A significantly increases the sensitivity and detection level of Down Syndrome.
