Prenatal Panel
Reviewed
A group of blood tests done in early pregnancy to check for diseases and infections that can affect the health of you and your developing baby. The results can guide treatments to help prevent serious complications.
Preparation and collection
No special preparations needed.
Understanding this test
Use the reference interval and units printed by the laboratory that performed the test. A result outside that interval is not a diagnosis by itself, and a result inside it does not rule out every condition. Your symptoms, history, medicines, timing, and related tests can change what the result means.
- No test is 100% accurate. False-positive or false-negative results are possible.
- The prenatal panel does not screen for all possible pregnancy complications.
What to do next
If you have questions about your results, talk to your provider.
