Bad Obstetric History (BOH) Extended Panel โ 900 AED โ DNA Labs UAE
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
The BOH Extended Panel is a specialised immunological and coagulation profile designed to identify underlying causes of recurrent pregnancy loss. This panel delivers 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity through ISO-accredited processing, utilising advanced CLIA, EIA, and electromechanical clot detection. Logistics are supported by VIP Mobile Phlebotomy and a temperature-controlled cold-chain home collection system, ensuring specimen integrity. Every report includes a telephonic post-test clinical guidance session to explain results in context. Direct insurance verification is available via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731.
Test Overview & Methodology
The BOH Extended Panel provides a comprehensive workup for recurrent pregnancy loss by evaluating both immunological markers (antiphospholipid antibodies, alloimmune factors) and coagulation parameters (thrombophilia markers). Testing is performed on serum and platelet-poor plasma using three core methodologies: Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (CLIA) for high-sensitivity antibody detection, Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) for quantitative protein analysis, and electromechanical clot detection for functional coagulation assessment. All processing adheres to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Sample requirements include 4 mL serum from one SST tube and 4 mL platelet-poor plasma collected from three sodium citrate (blue-top) tubes. Specimens must be shipped frozen and never thawed prior to analysis.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โThis panel provides valuable immunological and coagulation data, but results must always be interpreted alongside the patientโs full obstetric history, clinical examination, and prior laboratory findings. No therapeutic decision should be made solely on the basis of this profile. I strongly advise discussing all results with your treating physician to ensure a personalised management plan.โ โ Dr. Ajay Singh | General Practitioner | DHA Registration ID: 36234132
Pre-Test Medication Advisory
Overnight fasting is preferred for optimal serum clarity. A completed Coagulation Requisition Form (Form 15) is mandatory before sample collection. To ensure accurate coagulation results, patients are advised to discontinue Heparin for 1 day and oral anticoagulants for 7 days prior to sampling. These medications must only be stopped with prior written consent from the prescribing physician. Never discontinue prescribed medication without direct medical approval.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Active haemorrhage or severe anaemia that precludes safe venepuncture.
- Recent major surgery (within 4 weeks) unless explicitly approved by the treating surgeon.
- Known allergy to local anaesthetic or antiseptic agents used during phlebotomy.
- Seek emergency care immediately if you experience heavy bleeding unresponsive to pressure, fainting, or signs of infection at the collection site after the procedure.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the Bad Obstetric History Extended Panel test for?
This comprehensive panel screens for immunological and coagulation disorders that contribute to recurrent pregnancy loss. It specifically detects antiphospholipid antibodies, thrombophilia markers (including protein C, protein S, antithrombin III, and factor V Leiden), and alloimmune factors that may interfere with successful implantation and placental maintenance.
2. How should I prepare for the test and what medication restrictions apply?
You should fast overnight for at least 8โ10 hours and complete the Coagulation Requisition Form (Form 15) prior to collection. Heparin must be paused for 1 day and oral anticoagulants for 7 days before sampling, but only with your doctorโs written approval. Do not stop any medication without consulting your physician first.
3. When will I receive my results and who will interpret them?
Results are reported by 3 PM on the next working day following sample collection. You will receive a telephonic post-test clinical guidance session delivered by a qualified healthcare professional to explain your results in plain language and answer any follow-up questions.
