Understanding Your Baby’s Health: The Acetylcholinesterase Amniotic Fluid Test
We understand that pregnancy brings both joy and concern for your baby’s wellbeing. The Acetylcholinesterase Amniotic Fluid Test is a specialised prenatal screening that provides crucial information about your baby’s neural tube development. This test helps detect conditions like spina bifida and anencephaly, giving you the knowledge to make informed decisions about your pregnancy journey.
What This Test Detects
The Acetylcholinesterase test measures specific enzyme levels in your amniotic fluid. When neural tube defects are present, these enzymes leak into the amniotic fluid, providing early indicators of potential concerns. Our advanced gel electrophoresis method ensures precise measurement and reliable results you can trust.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important for mothers who:
- Have abnormal ultrasound findings suggesting neural tube defects
- Show elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels in maternal serum screening
- Have a family history of neural tube defects
- Are experiencing pregnancy between 13-24 weeks gestation
- Want comprehensive prenatal screening for peace of mind
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Family
Early detection of neural tube defects allows for:
- Informed decision-making about your pregnancy
- Preparation for potential medical needs after birth
- Access to specialised care and support services
- Reduced anxiety through knowledge and understanding
- Proactive healthcare planning for your baby
