Estriol Unconjugated near me in Gandhinagar

Unconjugated estriol (uE3) is a form of oestrogen (hormone) produced by the fetus (unborn baby) through metabolism. It is usually done in the second trimester of pregnancy to evaluate risk of birth defects and chromosomal variations in an unborn foetus. Estriol is ejected from the placenta (an organ acting as the protective covering for the fetus) into the mother’s blood, and measured as unconjugated uE3. This test is mainly used for diagnosing Down syndrome. A blood sample is shared with the lab for analysis. There are no specific risks involved in taking this test, and it is considered one of the best ways to analyse an unborn baby’s health.
