What is NIPT?
NIPT is a type of blood test that analyzes the DNA from the fetus circulating in the mother's blood. Since it is non-invasive, the test poses no risk of miscarriage, unlike more invasive tests such as amniocentesis. The test can be performed from week 10 of pregnancy and offers high reliability in detecting certain chromosomal abnormalities.
Benefits of NIPT
- Safe and risk-free: Since it only requires a blood sample from the mother, NIPT is completely harmless for both the mother and the baby.
- High precision: NIPT is one of the most reliable tests for detecting certain chromosomal abnormalities early in pregnancy.
- Quick results: The test often provides results within one to two weeks, allowing you to quickly gain insight into your baby's health.
When is NIPT recommended?
NIPT is often recommended for women who:
- Are 35 years or older
- Have a family history of genetic diseases
- Have received indications from other tests, such as the combined ultrasound and blood test (CUB), of an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities
- Want extra reassurance about the baby's health without undergoing invasive tests
