What is a Quad Screening with PLGF Test in Surat ?
What is Quad Screening with PLGF?
Quad Screening with PLGF measures four pregnancy-related proteins plus placental growth factor in the mother's blood. The proteins are AFP, hCG, estriol, and inhibin A. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does Quad Screening with PLGF measure?
PlGF gives additional information about placental health. These markers help assess risk for fetal chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome, neural tube defects, and placental problems such as preeclampsia or growth restriction. Doctors use the screen as a risk assessment tool in the second trimester. It is not diagnostic.
What symptoms suggest Quad Screening with PLGF may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Quad Screening with PLGF when a patient reports any symptom your doctor has identified as requiring objective laboratory investigation , including unexplained fatigue, unexplained weight change, persistent pain, fever, or abnormal bleeding. Sample collection for Surat is available at labs and at home across Parle Point, Ring Road, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
How is Quad Screening with PLGF performed?
Whether you visit a walk-in lab in Parle Point or book home collection in Ring Road, Surat, 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 Quad Screening with PLGF?
Every GetVisit sample from Parle Point, Ring Road, and across Surat 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 Quad Screening with PLGF?
There are no significant risks beyond those of a standard blood draw. For your appointment in Parle Point or Ring Road, Surat, drink 2 to 3 glasses of water beforehand and stay seated for 2 to 3 minutes afterwards, as vasovagal fainting (rare) is more likely if you are fasting, anxious, or dehydrated. Tell the phlebotomist if you have fainted during previous draws.
Did you know?
The quad screen is a second‑trimester maternal blood test measuring four substances: alpha‑fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), unconjugated estriol (uE3), and inhibin A.

Why Take a Quad Screening with PLGF Test in Surat ?
When does a doctor order Quad Screening with PLGF?
Quad Screening with PLGF is a second-trimester prenatal screening panel used during routine pregnancy care or after an abnormal ultrasound. It helps estimate risk for chromosomal disorders, neural tube defects, and placental dysfunction including preeclampsia and growth restriction.
Who should get Quad Screening with PLGF done in Surat?
Surat's large industrial and business population, its predominantly vegetarian diet with structural nutritional gaps, high state-level diabetes burden, hot humid climate, and monsoon infection seasonality make regular preventive diagnostic testing a sound investment for residents across the city. Fertility testing benefits couples who have not conceived after a year of trying (or six months if the woman is over 35), women with irregular cycles, and anyone planning IVF or IUI. In Surat, professionals in Dumas Road, Bhatar, and similar areas increasingly test earlier due to later family planning.
What conditions can Quad Screening with PLGF help diagnose?
Abnormal results can come from incorrect dating, multiple pregnancy, maternal conditions, or true fetal/placental problems. A family history of chromosomal anomalies or prior preeclampsia may make this screening especially important.
What do Quad Screening with PLGF results mean?
Higher or positive results: A positive quad screen means your pregnancy is at higher-than-average risk for conditions like Down syndrome, trisomy 18, or neural tube defects , it’s not a diagnosis. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.
How often should Quad Screening with PLGF be repeated?
Ovarian reserve and hormone tests are usually done once for baseline assessment and repeated if treatment plans change or after a significant interval. Semen analysis is often repeated after a few weeks to confirm findings, as results vary between samples.
What happens after Quad Screening with PLGF results are ready?
Reports arrive digitally and remain in your GetVisit history, so repeat tests can be tracked over months and years. Review anything unexpected with your doctor before changing medication or lifestyle, and use the app to book a follow-up if needed.
