Understanding Estriol Unconjugated in Howrah

What is Estriol Unconjugated in Howrah?

The Estriol Unconjugated test is a blood test used to measure the levels of the unconjugated estriol, a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It helps assess well-being of the fetus and monitor pregnancy health. This test is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Howrah.

The Estriol Unconjugated test is often done as a part of the triple or quadruple screening test conducted during the second trimester of pregnancy. It is a screening test and any abnormal result does not necessarily mean that the unborn baby has a birth defect or genetic condition. It only tells whether the unborn baby is at risk of developing certain abnormalities and further testing is required to confirm the diagnosis. The decision to recommend the Estriol Unconjugated test is often based on maternal age, medical history, and individual risk factors for chromosomal abnormalities. Pregnant women should consult their doctor to determine the most appropriate screening or diagnostic test based on their specific conditions.

No special preparation is required before undergoing the Estriol Unconjugated test. However, a woman needs to be prepared to provide informed consent before undertaking this test. The laboratory personnel will explain the purpose, benefits, and limitations of this test.

What does Estriol Unconjugated measure?

The Estriol Unconjugated test is used to assess the level of unconjugated estriol (uE3) in the blood, a specific type of estrogen produced during the pregnancy phase. This hormone is mainly synthesized in the placenta and the fetus, with the fetus being responsible for a substantial amount of uE3 production as it grows.

Monitoring the uE3 levels in the maternal serum is useful in evaluating the condition of the fetus. Abnormal unconjugated estriol levels may indicate pregnancy-related complications or concerns, including chromosomal abnormalities, fetal distress, or placental problems. The Estriol Unconjugated is particularly crucial in the second trimester to assess for some conditions, such as Down syndrome, Edward syndrome, or other chromosomal abnormalities, fetal growth and development. Hence the estriol unconjugated test is a significant part of prenatal care as it reveals information that may be valuable for the diagnosis and management of the mother and the baby.
