What is a DUAL MARKER (blood test) Test in Mumbai ?
What is DUAL MARKER (blood test)?
The dual marker blood test measures two pregnancy-related substances made by the placenta: PAPP-A and free beta-hCG. These markers give information about placental function and early fetal development.
What does DUAL MARKER (blood test) measure?
Abnormal levels can raise suspicion for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) and Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18). Low PAPP-A can also signal risk of placental problems like preeclampsia or poor fetal growth. Doctors combine the dual marker result with maternal age and ultrasound findings to estimate risk and decide if further testing or closer monitoring is needed. It is usually done in the first trimester.
What symptoms suggest DUAL MARKER (blood test) may be needed?
A doctor may recommend DUAL MARKER (blood test) when a patient reports fatigue or persistent low energy, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark amber or tea-coloured urine, pale or clay-coloured stools, upper right abdominal discomfort, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal swelling, and unexplained weight loss. In Mumbai, you can book this test online with home collection available in Vikhroli, Kandivali, and beyond.
How is DUAL MARKER (blood test) performed?
GetVisit home collection in Vikhroli or Kandivali, Mumbai: a certified phlebotomist arrives at your address at your chosen slot (available from 6:00 AM), brings all sterile single-use equipment, draws the sample, and dispatches it to the NABL-accredited lab. Your digital report is delivered to your GetVisit profile the same day for most standard blood tests.
How accurate is DUAL MARKER (blood test)?
For DUAL MARKER (blood test), alcohol within 24 hours and strenuous exercise can temporarily raise liver values, so avoid both before testing. GetVisit's NABL labs in Vikhroli and Kandivali, Mumbai process the sample on calibrated analysers with routine quality checks.
Are there any risks to DUAL MARKER (blood test)?
There is little to worry about. The needle prick lasts a moment and any bruising fades quickly. If you bruise easily or take blood thinners, tell the phlebotomist in Vikhroli or Kandivali, Mumbai so they can apply pressure for longer.
Did you know?
A dual marker blood test is a first‑trimester prenatal screening done around 9–13 weeks that measures two pregnancy proteins, pregnancy‑associated plasma protein A (PAPP‑A) and free beta‑hCG, to estimate the baby’s risk of chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and trisomy 18.

Why Take a DUAL MARKER (blood test) Test in Mumbai ?
When does a doctor order DUAL MARKER (blood test)?
DUAL MARKER (blood test) is a two-marker screening often offered in the first trimester as part of prenatal screening together with nuchal translucency ultrasound. Doctors order it for routine prenatal risk assessment, when maternal age is advanced, or after abnormal ultrasound findings.
Who should get DUAL MARKER (blood test) done in Mumbai?
Mumbai has among India's highest documented rates of alcohol consumption, contributing to a significant alcoholic liver disease burden across all socioeconomic groups. NAFLD affects an estimated 25 to 35% of India's urban adults , the majority unaware. Regular liver testing in Mumbai's residential areas including Santacruz and Worli enables lifestyle intervention before irreversible scarring occurs. Patients recovering from hepatitis, those in alcohol recovery, and anyone with persistently unexplained fatigue also benefit from regular liver monitoring.
What conditions can DUAL MARKER (blood test) help diagnose?
It helps identify risk of chromosomal conditions and placental problems. Abnormal results may follow chromosomal anomalies, placental dysfunction, maternal health factors or some medications. Family history of genetic disorders increases its importance.
What do DUAL MARKER (blood test) results mean?
ALT above 56 U/L or AST above 40 U/L signals hepatocyte stress. The pattern matters: ALT greater than AST typically suggests NAFLD or viral hepatitis. An AST:ALT ratio above 2 points to alcoholic hepatitis. High ALP with normal transaminases suggests bile duct disease rather than liver cell damage. Low albumin alongside high bilirubin indicates serious loss of liver function.
How often should DUAL MARKER (blood test) be repeated?
Adults with no liver risk factors and a previously normal result: annually. Patients with NAFLD or treated hepatitis: every 6 months. Patients on hepatotoxic medication: baseline before starting, then at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months during treatment. Patients with active liver disease: at intervals specified by their gastroenterologist.
What happens after DUAL MARKER (blood test) results are ready?
You will be notified the moment results are ready, usually the same day for routine tests. Open the report in the GetVisit app to see each value beside its reference range, share it with your doctor in a tap, or book a specialist consultation to talk it through.
