The fetal gastro-intestinal (GI) tract contributes to alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels in amniotic fluid and hence to those in maternal serum (MS). This study retrospectively analysed results of second trimester MSAFP screening in cases of fetal GI tract obstruction. 18 cases of fetal GI obstruction w

The objective was to assess the occurrence of miscarriages, low birth weight, and karyotype abnormalities found with low and elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) among women who had genetic amniocentesis performed. A retrospective study of 2,159 women who had MSAFP analysis prior to amn

This study was undertaken to investigate the association between uterine anomalies and unexplained elevated maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) concentrations during the early second trimester. The incidence of uterine anomalies was retrospectively evaluated among pregnant women showing elevate
correctly normalize urine data. The tighter distribution of hyperglycosylated hCG measurements in serum may compensate for the lesser elevation of values in Down syndrome cases. Hyperglycosylated hCG determinations might be equally useful in urine and serum samples. 60 per cent sensitivity is sugges
