What is a FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) Test in Visit Clinic?
First trimester screening measures specific substances in the mother's blood and an early ultrasound measurement. The blood tests look at PAPP-A and free beta hCG. The ultrasound measures nuchal translucency at about 11 to 13 weeks and 6 days. These results, combined with maternal age and pregnancy dating, estimate the chance of chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and Trisomy 18. It gives a risk estimate, not a diagnosis. Doctors use the result to guide counseling and decide if further testing like cell-free DNA screening or diagnostic testing is needed.

Why Take a FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) Test in Visit Clinic?
FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) is typically done as a combined panel of maternal blood markers and an early ultrasound. Clinicians order it for routine prenatal risk assessment, for older maternal age, or after an abnormal scan. It helps identify increased risk for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and Trisomy 18. Abnormal results can arise from dating errors, multiple pregnancy, maternal factors, or true fetal problems, and a family history of chromosomal conditions makes the test especially relevant.
