BOH BAD OBSTETRIC HISTORY PANEL Test
Test Cost: AED 1210.0
Test Components:
- Cardiolipin Antibodies Panel
- Lupus Anticoagulant Panel
Sample Condition:
3 mL (1.5 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. Ship refrigerated or frozen AND 4 mL (3 mL min.) Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) from 3 Blue Top (Sodium Citrate) tubes. Mix thoroughly by inversion and transport to the Lab within 4 hours. If this is not possible, prepare PPP within 1 hour of collection as follows: Centrifuge sample at 3600 rpm for 15 min. & transfer supernatant to a clean plastic tube. Centrifuge this supernatant again at 3600 rpm for 15 mins. & finally transfer the supernatant (PPP) to 1 labelled, clean plastic screw capped vial. FREEZE IMMEDIATELY. Ship frozen. DO NOT THAW. Overnight fasting is preferred. Duly filled Coagulation Requisition Form (Form 15) is mandatory.
Report Delivery:
Sample Daily by 3 pm; Report Next day
Method:
EIA, Electromechanical Clot Detection
Test Type:
Abortions

Pre Test Information:
Overnight fasting is preferred. Duly filled Coagulation Requisition Form(Form 15) is mandatory. It is recommended that patient discontinues Heparin for 1 day and Oral Anticoagulants for 7 days prior to sampling as these drugs may affect test results.

Test Details:
The BOH (Bad Obstetric History) panel test is a series of diagnostic tests performed on pregnant women who have a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes or complications. This panel aims to identify any underlying medical conditions or genetic factors that may contribute to these adverse outcomes. The specific tests included in the panel may vary, but commonly, it includes the following:
- Thrombophilia screening: This test checks for any blood clotting disorders that may increase the risk of pregnancy complications such as recurrent miscarriages or preeclampsia.
- Hormonal evaluation: Hormonal imbalances, such as thyroid disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can impact fertility and pregnancy outcomes. This evaluation helps identify any hormonal abnormalities.
- Genetic testing: This may include karyotyping to assess chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome or other genetic disorders that may contribute to recurrent miscarriages or stillbirths.
- Infectious disease screening: Certain infections, such as toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus, can lead to pregnancy complications. Screening for these infections helps determine if they are contributing to the adverse pregnancy outcomes.
- Autoimmune disease testing: Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or antiphospholipid syndrome, can increase the risk of pregnancy complications. Testing for specific autoimmune markers helps identify these conditions.
- Anatomical evaluation: This may involve a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) or sonohysterogram to assess the structure of the uterus and fallopian tubes, looking for any abnormalities or blockages that may impact fertility or pregnancy outcomes.
The BOH panel test aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of potential factors contributing to a woman’s bad obstetric history. The results can guide healthcare providers in developing a personalized treatment plan to optimize the chances of a successful pregnancy outcome in the future.
