Preeclampsia Predictor sFLT1PIGF Ratio Panel Test
Introduction
The Preeclampsia Predictor sFLT1PIGF Ratio Panel Test is an essential diagnostic tool for pregnant women, aimed at assessing the risk of developing pre-eclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and potential damage to other organ systems. Early detection of this condition is crucial for the health of both the mother and the baby.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the levels of two key biomarkers: Placental Growth Factor (PLGF) and Soluble Fms-Like Tyrosine Kinase-1 (sFLT-1). The ratio of these markers is evaluated to determine the likelihood of pre-eclampsia. A lower PLGF level relative to sFLT-1 is indicative of increased risk.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Pregnant women who may be at risk of pre-eclampsia should consider this test, especially if they have:
- High blood pressure
- History of pre-eclampsia in previous pregnancies
- Diabetes or kidney disease
- Multiple pregnancies (twins or more)
- Obesity
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early detection of pre-eclampsia allows for timely medical intervention.
- Peace of mind for expecting mothers and their families.
- Helps healthcare providers to monitor and manage pregnancy more effectively.
Understanding Your Results
Your results will indicate the levels of PLGF and sFLT-1, along with the calculated ratio. A healthcare provider will interpret these results to determine your risk of pre-eclampsia and discuss any necessary actions or monitoring strategies.
