What Does The Following Dual Test Pappa And HCG Results Indicate?
Brief Answer:
Amniocentesis Required
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I saw the attached reports and understand your concerns about high risk for Trisomy 13/ 18.
I believe this needs an evaluation by a fetal medicine specialist followed by amniocentesis to assess the risk factor and give final opinion.
As you are staying in XXXXXXX you can consult Dr. XXXXXXX Radhakrishnan who is fetal medicine consultant trained in UK and is good at amniocentesis and assessment of the necessity of the same.
Amniocentesis is the only way to definitely identify the same.
Let me know if you wish anymore information.

Is thr medication available to increase the chances of having a healthy kid or should I go in for abortion, pls explain to take a wise desicion, my wife can conceive again or can't we have a baby again
Brief Answer:
Amniocentesis is a best option
Detailed Answer:
I dont think abortion is a wise option. This report does not say for sure if there is going be baby with congenital defects. You never know what difficulties will occur in conceiving again.
This report just shows possible increase in chance of having such a baby.
Best decision would be to do a amniocentesis and check the report.
