What is a INHIBIN A Test in Bangalore ?

The Inhibin A test measures the level of the hormone inhibin A in the blood. Inhibin A is made by the ovaries and by the placenta during pregnancy. It helps control reproductive hormones and gives clues about pregnancy health. Doctors use it as part of prenatal screening to assess the risk of certain fetal chromosomal conditions. It is also used to help detect or monitor some ovarian tumors. Results are usually interpreted with other tests and imaging for a clearer picture.

Why Take a INHIBIN A Test in Bangalore ?

INHIBIN A is often ordered as part of a maternal screening panel (such as the second‑trimester quad test) and sometimes as a tumor marker for ovarian conditions. A doctor may request it if prenatal screening is needed, when ultrasound findings are unclear, or when an ovarian mass is suspected. Abnormal results can come from pregnancy changes, chromosomal differences in the fetus, ovarian tumors, or certain medications. A family history of chromosomal disorders or ovarian cancer may make this test more important.

What is the role of inhibin A in Bangalore?plus

Inhibin A is a gonadal peptide hormone produced mainly by ovarian granulosa cells (and by the placenta in pregnancy, and Sertoli cells in males). It exerts negative feedback on the anterior pituitary to suppress follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH), helping regulate folliculogenesis, the menstrual cycle, and spermatogenesis. Clinically, inhibin A is used as a biomarker in prenatal screening and some reproductive conditions.

What does inhibin A indicate in Bangalore?plus

Inhibin A is a hormone from ovarian granulosa cells and the placenta that suppresses FSH and reflects ovarian/placental function. In pregnancy, elevated maternal inhibin A in second‑trimester screening is associated with higher risk of Down syndrome. Abnormal levels can also occur with certain granulosa‑cell tumors or reproductive dysfunction, so results are interpreted alongside other clinical and laboratory findings.

Is inhibin A or B for ovarian cancer in Bangalore?plus

Inhibin is a marker for ovarian sex cord–stromal tumors, especially granulosa cell tumors. Both inhibin A and B can be elevated, but inhibin B is more commonly used and often more sensitive for diagnosis and monitoring recurrence. These tests help follow treatment response and detect relapse, but are not primary screening tools for epithelial ovarian cancers.

What is the normal range of inhibin A in pregnancy in Bangalore?plus

Inhibin A levels in pregnancy are gestational‑age dependent and usually reported as multiples of the median (MoM). The accepted “normal” range is roughly 0.5–2.0 MoM, with about 1.0 MoM as the median. Absolute pg/mL reference values vary by lab and week of gestation; levels above ~2.0 MoM are considered elevated and prompt further assessment.

What can cause low inhibin A in Bangalore?plus

Low inhibin A can result from reduced ovarian function—poor ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency, or ovarian damage (surgery, chemotherapy/radiation). In pregnancy, low inhibin A may indicate placental dysfunction, increased risk of fetal growth restriction or preeclampsia, and is seen in some chromosomal abnormalities (for example, trisomy 18). Cycle phase, anovulation and certain endocrine disorders can also alter levels.

What causes high inhibin A in pregnancy in Bangalore?plus

Elevated maternal inhibin A during pregnancy most commonly reflects placental overproduction or dysfunction. Causes include fetal chromosomal abnormalities (especially Down syndrome), preeclampsia and other hypertensive/placental disorders, multiple pregnancy, and gestational trophoblastic disease. Incorrect dating can also alter levels. Elevated inhibin A usually prompts further diagnostic testing (ultrasound, diagnostic genetic testing) to clarify the cause.
