What is a FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) Test in Lucknow ?

What is FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS)?

First trimester screening measures specific substances in the mother's blood and an early ultrasound measurement. The blood tests look at PAPP-A and free beta hCG. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.

What does FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) measure?

The ultrasound measures nuchal translucency at about 11 to 13 weeks and 6 days. These results, combined with maternal age and pregnancy dating, estimate the chance of chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and Trisomy 18. It gives a risk estimate, not a diagnosis. Doctors use the result to guide counseling and decide if further testing like cell-free DNA screening or diagnostic testing is needed.

What symptoms suggest FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) may be needed?

A doctor may recommend FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) when a patient reports any symptom your doctor has identified as requiring objective laboratory investigation , including unexplained fatigue, unexplained weight change, persistent pain, fever, or abnormal bleeding. In Lucknow, you can book this test online with home collection available in Charbagh, Aminabad, and beyond.

How is FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) performed?

Collection is a routine blood draw. Using a single-use sterile needle, the phlebotomist takes a small sample from a vein in your arm; GetVisit's team in Charbagh and Aminabad, Lucknow then barcodes and transports it under controlled conditions to the NABL lab.

How accurate is FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS)?

Every GetVisit sample from Charbagh, Aminabad, and across Lucknow is processed at NABL-accredited labs that use internationally calibrated reference standards, pass external quality assessments, and maintain internal quality control at every shift. Reports are accepted by all major hospital networks, specialists, and insurance providers in India.

Are there any risks to FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS)?

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 Charbagh or Aminabad, Lucknow so they can apply pressure for longer.

Did you know?

The FTS (first‑trimester screening) is a noninvasive assessment performed at about 11–13+6 weeks' gestation combining maternal blood tests (PAPP‑A and free beta‑hCG) with an ultrasound measurement of fetal nuchal translucency.

FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) Test Preparation in Lucknow

Medication:

There's usually no need to stop your regular medication; just let the staff know what you take.

Fasting and diet:

There is no need to skip food or drink for this test. Staying well hydrated beforehand simply makes the sample easier to collect.

Timing and slots:

An early slot works best, especially for fasting tests. Home collection is available across Kaiserbagh, Gomti Nagar, and the rest of Lucknow.

What to bring:

Carry your test requisition, a government-issued ID, and any previous reports so results can be compared over time.

Why Take a FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) Test in Lucknow ?

When does a doctor order FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS)?

FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) is typically done as a combined panel of maternal blood markers and an early ultrasound. Clinicians order it for routine prenatal risk assessment, for older maternal age, or after an abnormal scan.

Who should get FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) done in Lucknow?

Lucknow's growing population, rich Awadhi diet driving diabetes and heart disease, winter air pollution, and seasonal monsoon infections make regular preventive diagnostic testing worthwhile for residents across the city. Fertility testing benefits couples who have not conceived after a year of trying (or six months if the woman is over 35), women with irregular cycles, and anyone planning IVF or IUI. In Lucknow, professionals in Sushant Golf City, Gomti Nagar Extension, and similar areas increasingly test earlier due to later family planning.

What conditions can FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) help diagnose?

It helps identify increased risk for chromosomal conditions such as Down syndrome and Trisomy 18. Abnormal results can arise from dating errors, multiple pregnancy, maternal factors, or true fetal problems, and a family history of chromosomal conditions makes the test especially relevant.

What do FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) results mean?

Higher or positive results: A positive first‑trimester screen means elevated risk, not a diagnosis. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.

How often should FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) be repeated?

Ovarian reserve and hormone tests are usually done once for baseline assessment and repeated if treatment plans change or after a significant interval. Semen analysis is often repeated after a few weeks to confirm findings, as results vary between samples.

What happens after FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) results are ready?

Your GetVisit digital report is delivered to your phone as soon as results are authorised. Share it directly with your doctor via the app, or book a consultation with a GetVisit-verified specialist on the same platform. Critical values outside a safe range are flagged by the laboratory for urgent clinical review.

What is a FTS test in pregnancy?plus

The FTS (first‑trimester screening) is a noninvasive assessment performed at about 11–13+6 weeks' gestation combining maternal blood tests (PAPP‑A and free beta‑hCG) with an ultrasound measurement of fetal nuchal translucency. It estimates risk for chromosomal conditions like Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and trisomy 18. It’s a screening, not diagnostic; positive results lead to diagnostic testing (CVS or amniocentesis) and counseling.

What is the FTS screening for pregnancy?plus

FTS (first‑trimester screening) is a non‑diagnostic combined test at 11–13+6 weeks that estimates the risk of chromosomal abnormalities, chiefly Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and trisomy 18. It combines nuchal translucency ultrasound measurement with maternal blood markers (free β‑hCG and PAPP‑A) and maternal factors; the result gives a risk score , abnormal or high‑risk findings may be followed by diagnostic tests (CVS or amniocentesis).

Is FTS the same as NIPT?plus

FTS (first‑trimester screening) and NIPT (non‑invasive prenatal testing) are both prenatal screening tests but are not the same. FTS combines nuchal translucency ultrasound with maternal blood markers early in pregnancy. NIPT analyzes cell‑free fetal DNA in maternal blood and is far more sensitive and specific for trisomies. Neither is diagnostic; positive results should be confirmed by CVS or amniocentesis.

What is the FTS at 12 weeks?plus

FTS at 12 weeks is the first‑trimester combined screening that assesses risk of chromosomal abnormalities. It includes a nuchal translucency ultrasound plus maternal blood tests (PAPP‑A and free β‑hCG), sometimes with nasal‑bone assessment. The result gives a risk estimate for trisomies 21, 18 and 13 but is not diagnostic; high‑risk findings prompt NIPT or invasive diagnostic testing.

Can I exercise before FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS)?plus

Avoid strenuous exercise for 12 to 24 hours before FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS), since intense activity can temporarily change several blood markers. Light everyday movement is fine.

Do I need a doctor's prescription to book FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS)?plus

You can book FIRST TRIMESTER SCREENING (FTS) on GetVisit with or without a prescription, though a doctor's advice helps with interpreting the result. Cashless OPD may require a referral, depending on your insurer.
