I am 14 weeks pregnant. I had a double marker test at 13 weeks and 3 days. My free beta HCG level is 28.4 ng/ml and PAPP is 12.8 mIU/ml. Are these levels normal? Please tell me.

Your double marker test values seem high and unusual typically, values are in MoM (multiples of median), not ng/ml. Please confirm units and get report reviewed. If values are truly elevated, follow up with NT scan and possibly Quad marker test for confirmation.

Pregnancy 20 weeks complete and ultrasound 3D report shows low amniotic fluid. The triple test report shows NTD positive but in ultrasound everything is normal such as spine and head. At present I am undergoing 5 days drip of amino acid and RL. Kindly let me know if there is any other solution for the same besides drip and tablets with LRzim solution?

Hi. My wife is 12 weeks pregnant and everything is normal in her blood report including thyroid, sugar and hemoglobin. The doctor has asked her to go for an NT scan along with Double Marker, which is optional. They said Double Marker will cost 4000 Rs. I need your suggestions. Is Double Marker really required if everything is normal in her blood report?
