What is a Dual Marker (Blood Test) Test in Faridabad ?
What is DUAL MARKER (blood test)?
The dual marker blood test measures two pregnancy-related substances made by the placenta: PAPP-A and free beta-hCG. These markers give information about placental function and early fetal development.
What does DUAL MARKER (blood test) measure?
Abnormal levels can raise suspicion for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18). Low PAPP-A can also signal risk of placental problems like preeclampsia or poor fetal growth. Doctors combine the dual marker result with maternal age and ultrasound findings to estimate risk and decide if further testing or closer monitoring is needed. It is usually done in the first trimester.
What symptoms suggest DUAL MARKER (blood test) may be needed?
A doctor may recommend DUAL MARKER (blood test) when a patient reports fatigue or persistent low energy, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark amber or tea-coloured urine, pale or clay-coloured stools, upper right abdominal discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal swelling, and unexplained weight loss. If you have these symptoms, GetVisit offers booking and home collection across Old Faridabad, Sector 46, and other parts of Faridabad.
How is DUAL MARKER (blood test) performed?
Whether you visit a walk-in lab in Old Faridabad or book home collection in Sector 46, Faridabad, the process is the same. A trained phlebotomist performs a brief, sterile venipuncture, barcodes the sample for tracking, and dispatches it to the NABL lab. Your digital report is available in the GetVisit app the same day for most blood tests.
How accurate is DUAL MARKER (blood test)?
Every GetVisit sample from Old Faridabad, Sector 46, and across Faridabad is processed at NABL-accredited labs that use internationally calibrated reference standards, pass external quality assessments, and maintain internal quality control at every shift. Reports are accepted by all major hospital networks, specialists, and insurance providers in India.
Are there any risks to DUAL MARKER (blood test)?
A blood draw for DUAL MARKER (blood test) is very safe. Occasionally there is minor bruising or light-headedness; sitting for a couple of minutes afterwards at the Old Faridabad or Sector 46, Faridabad collection point usually prevents this.
Did you know?
A dual marker blood test is a first‑trimester prenatal screening done around 9-13 weeks that measures two pregnancy proteins, pregnancy‑associated plasma protein A (PAPP‑A) and free beta‑hCG, to estimate the baby’s risk of chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and trisomy 18.

Why Take a Dual Marker (Blood Test) Test in Faridabad ?
When does a doctor order DUAL MARKER (blood test)?
DUAL MARKER (blood test) is a two-marker screening often offered in the first trimester as part of prenatal screening together with nuchal translucency ultrasound. Doctors order it for routine prenatal risk assessment, when maternal age is advanced, or after abnormal ultrasound findings.
Who should get DUAL MARKER (blood test) done in Faridabad?
NAFLD is rising among Faridabad's industrial and commuter workforce, driven by sedentary work, long travel into Delhi, and calorie-dense eating. Occupational exposure in the older industrial sectors adds further liver stress for some workers. NAFLD affects an estimated 25 to 35% of India's urban adults, the majority unaware. Regular liver testing in Faridabad's residential areas including Old Faridabad and Sector 46 enables lifestyle intervention before irreversible scarring occurs. Patients recovering from hepatitis, those in alcohol recovery, and anyone with persistently unexplained fatigue also benefit from regular liver monitoring.
What conditions can DUAL MARKER (blood test) help diagnose?
It helps identify risk of chromosomal conditions and placental problems. Abnormal results may follow chromosomal anomalies, placental dysfunction, maternal health factors or some medications. Family history of genetic disorders increases its importance.
What do DUAL MARKER (blood test) results mean?
ALT above 56 U/L or AST above 40 U/L signals hepatocyte stress. The pattern matters: ALT greater than AST typically suggests NAFLD or viral hepatitis. An AST:ALT ratio above 2 points to alcoholic hepatitis. High ALP with normal transaminases suggests bile duct disease rather than liver cell damage. Low albumin alongside high bilirubin indicates serious loss of liver function.
How often should DUAL MARKER (blood test) be repeated?
Adults with no liver risk factors and a previously normal result: annually. Patients with NAFLD or treated hepatitis: every 6 months. Patients on hepatotoxic medication: baseline before starting, then at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months during treatment. Patients with active liver disease: at intervals specified by their gastroenterologist.
What happens after your DUAL MARKER (blood test) results are ready?
Results are delivered to your phone and stored securely on GetVisit. Any value the laboratory flags as critical is escalated for urgent review, and for everything else your doctor or a verified specialist can guide the next step at your convenience.
