PAPP-A WHAT IS THIS?From: anonymous@obgyn.netThu, 26 Apr 2001 08:59:42 EDT
THIS MESSAGE IS FOR DR THOMAS IND PLEASE If you don't mind, can you kindly answer this question for me please ? I am 34yrs old and currently 7w4d pregnant after IVF treatment. The obstetrician has advised me to have a B -hcg AND PAPP-A blood test to be done at 12 weeks gestation ( in addition to the routine nuchal scan). Could you please tell me what this PAPP-A stands for and the possible rationale behind this test. ( I have also come across this PAPP-A in one of your replies regarding B HCG and Downs Syndrome) Your reply will be appreciated
