SERVICES: FIRST TRIMESTER PRE-ECLAMPSIA SCREENING
There is a condition called Pre-eclampsia or PE for short. It is a pregnancy disorder with high blood pressure and protein in the urine after 20 weeks’ gestation. Simply put, it is high blood pressure due to pregnancy.
PE affects 5-8% of pregnant women. Even if the initial blood pressure is normal, PE can occur later on in the pregnancy and if severe, can jeopardise the well-being of both mother and baby.
There is a non-invasive screening test, done in the 1st trimester, to screen for the risk of developing PE.
It involves an ultrasound scan in the 1st trimester and a blood test for the mother. The ultrasound scan measures the uterine artery pulsatility index (PI). The mother’s blood test analyses the levels of PAPP-A and PLGF.
This test is a risk assessment. If the risk is assessed to be high, then aspirin and high dose calcium will be prescribed to mitigate the risk.
