Test Overview & Methodology
The Antenatal Panel Basic is a comprehensive first‑trimester screening package that evaluates maternal and fetal well‑being through complete blood count, glucose quantification, infectious disease serology, and urinalysis. Aligned with Dubai Health Authority prenatal protocols, it promptly detects anaemia, gestational diabetes, and transmissible infections, forming the cornerstone of safe pregnancy care.
Methodology Components: CBC by Electrical Impedance (Sysmex XN‑series), Glucose by Hexokinase reference method (Cobas c501), HIV 4th Generation CMIA (Elecsys HIV Duo), Syphilis serology by VDRL/RPR flocculation, and Urinalysis by automated dipstick (Siemens Clinitek) with manual microscopy. All methods are ISO‑calibrated and traceable to international standards.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What exactly does the Antenatal Panel Basic Test include?
This panel integrates an automated complete blood count via electrical impedance, hexokinase‑based glucose quantification, fourth‑generation CMIA for HIV detection, VDRL/RPR flocculation for syphilis serology, and a comprehensive urinalysis with dipstick and microscopy. Together, these assays provide your obstetrician with a holistic view of maternal health and early risk markers during the first trimester.
2. Why is HIV testing mandatory with a dedicated consent form?
Under UAE Federal Decree‑Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability and DHA prenatal protocols, every pregnant woman must receive pre‑test counselling and provide documented consent before HIV testing. Early identification enables antiretroviral therapy to dramatically reduce the risk of mother‑to‑child transmission, safeguarding both maternal and neonatal health. All personal data is protected under Federal Decree‑Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection (PDPL).
