Test Details
The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) amniotic fluid test is a diagnostic test used to determine if a fetus has certain neural tube defects, such as spina bifida or anencephaly. AChE is an enzyme that is normally found in high concentrations in the brain and spinal cord, but is also present in the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus.
During the test, a sample of amniotic fluid is collected through a procedure called amniocentesis, which involves inserting a needle into the amniotic sac. The amniotic fluid sample is then tested for the presence of AChE. If there is an elevated level of AChE in the amniotic fluid, it may indicate a neural tube defect in the fetus. This is because the neural tube defects can cause the leakage of AChE from the developing nervous system into the amniotic fluid.
It is important to note that the AChE amniotic fluid test is not a definitive diagnostic test for neural tube defects, but rather a screening test. If the test results are abnormal, further testing, such as ultrasound or genetic testing, may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
Overall, the AChE amniotic fluid test is a valuable tool in prenatal screening for neural tube defects and can help guide further diagnostic and management decisions for the pregnancy.
