what should be range of values in integration screen test
what is the range of values in integration screen test for the normal healthy baby
Hi not to sure what exactly you are looking for. With the integration screen test they take many factors in consideration - maternal age, how far you are in your pregnancy, Your free-BhCGBeta human chorionic gonadotrophin) and PAPP-A (pregnancy associated plasma protein-A). Then they look at the Nuchal Translucency a little gap or space area behind the fetus neck.
All these things get taken into consideration before making a estimated risk for abnormalities.
In my case my blood work was not that good but all the other factors was more than 100% which cancel the blood results out and gives me the same risks as what a 15 year old during pregnancy might have - abnormalities wise.
It's really a situation of look at everything before giving a result and bare in mind that 80% is accurate and about 20% of people can have a false positive for abnormalities - they will keep an eye on you and baby but it doesn't mean there is necessary anything wrong - a few weeks later you might be positive for no abnormalities.
Hope this help - best is to ask one of the Dr's if you need more information or google it. This is just my experience as a mom.
