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.
