PLACENTAL GROWTH FACTOR PlGF Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the PLACENTAL GROWTH FACTOR (PlGF) test, a diagnostic tool used in obstetrics to evaluate the risk of developing preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a potentially dangerous pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and damage to organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Test Details
The PlGF test involves taking a blood sample from the pregnant woman and measuring the levels of PlGF in the sample. PlGF is a protein produced by the placenta, and its levels in the blood can provide important information about the health of the placenta and the risk of developing preeclampsia.
Low levels of PlGF in the blood are associated with an increased risk of developing preeclampsia. By monitoring PlGF levels throughout pregnancy, healthcare providers can identify women at high risk and take appropriate measures to manage and treat the condition.
The PlGF test is typically performed between 20 and 34 weeks of pregnancy, as this is the period when preeclampsia is most likely to develop. It is a non-invasive and relatively simple test that can be performed in a laboratory setting.
Test Cost and Components
The PLACENTAL GROWTH FACTOR PlGF Test is available at a cost of 590.0 AED. The test requires a sample condition of 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen. The report delivery is scheduled on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays by 9 am. The test is performed using the ECLIA method in our IMMUNOASSAY department.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required before taking the PLACENTAL GROWTH FACTOR PlGF Test.
Conclusion
The PLACENTAL GROWTH FACTOR PlGF Test is a valuable tool in obstetrics for assessing the risk of preeclampsia. By measuring the levels of PlGF in the blood, healthcare providers can identify women at high risk and provide appropriate care and treatment. If you are a gynecologist or a pregnant woman, consider recommending or undergoing the PLACENTAL GROWTH FACTOR PlGF Test to ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby.
