Test Details
Methodology
Chemiluminescent immunoassay
Result Turnaround Time
2 - 5 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Use
Screening test for open neural tube defects, Down syndrome, and trisomy 18
Special Instructions
For test inquiries, call CMBP genetic services at 800-345-4363. The following information must be provided: gestational age, date on which the patient was the stated gestational age, how gestational age was determined (LMP, EDD, US), patient's race, patient's weight, patient's date of birth, patient's insulin-dependent diabetic status, and the number of fetuses. Also indicate patient history (i.e. prior Down syndrome pregnancy, ultrasound anomalies). Complete information is necessary to interpret the test. Patient information may be provided to the laboratory using the Maternal Prenatal Screening requisition 0900. Testing provided from 10.0 to 14.0 weeks of gestation.
Limitations
Serum integrated screening requires two specimens: one collected in the first trimester and one in the second trimester. This test number is for the first trimester portion of the test. Result interpretation will be provided only when the second trimester specimen is received and tested. This is a screening test. A positive result means that diagnostic testing may be offered to the pregnant woman to determine if a neural tube defect or chromosome abnormality is present.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
