Prenatal Panel 1

Prenatal Panel 1 is a comprehensive baseline screen designed for the earliest stages of pregnancy. This panel provides vital information about your overall health and identifies potential risks that could affect both the mother and the developing baby. By establishing these baselines early, healthcare providers can create a personalized care plan to ensure a healthy pregnancy journey.

What This Test Covers

• CBC (Complete Blood Count): Checks for anemia, infection, and blood clotting ability.

• Blood Group & Rh Typing: Determines your blood type and Rh factor to prevent compatibility issues.

• Rubella (German Measles): Confirms immunity to a virus that can cause birth defects.

• Hepatitis B & HIV: Screens for viral infections that require special care during delivery.

• Syphilis (RPR): Detects a bacterial infection that can be treated to protect the baby.

• Urine Culture: Screens for "silent" urinary tract infections that could lead to complications.
