Morgan Prenatal Blood Test Panel #2

Quick Facts

• Sample: Blood
• Fasting: Maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks before blood collection and fast for 12-14 hours prior. Stop biotin 72 hours before collection.
• Turnaround: 2-3 business days. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.

What's Included

Infectious Disease Screening

• Hepatitis B Surface Antigen: Detects the earliest marker of hepatitis B infection.
• HIV Ag/Ab, Screen: A fourth-generation screening test that detects antibodies to HIV-1 and HIV-2 and the HIV-1 p24 antigen, a viral protein that may become detectable before HIV antibodies develop.
• HIV Screen 4th Generation w/Rfx: A combined HIV antigen and antibody screening test that automatically triggers additional testing when the initial result is reactive, helping distinguish HIV-1 from HIV-2 infection and clarify the screening result.
• HIV Final Interpretation: The laboratory's overall interpretation of the HIV screening results and any additional reflex testing performed, indicating whether the findings support HIV infection or require further evaluation.
• RPR: Rapid Plasma Reagin test used in syphilis screening.

Immunity

• Rubella Antibodies, IgG: Measures IgG antibodies to the rubella virus.

Blood Typing

• ABO Grouping: Identifies blood group A, B, AB, or O.
• Rh Factor: Shows whether you are Rh positive or Rh negative.

Benefits

• Screens for hepatitis B, HIV, and syphilis in one panel.
• Checks your rubella antibody (IgG) status.
• Identifies your ABO blood group and Rh factor.
• Rh results show whether Rh immune globulin may be a consideration.
• Brings key prenatal blood tests together in one order.

FAQ

1. Do I need to fast or prepare for this test?

Plan ahead for this one. Maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks before blood collection and fast for 12-14 hours prior. Stop biotin 72 hours before collection.

2. How quickly will I get results?

Expect results in 2-3 business days. May take longer based on weather, holiday, or lab delays.

3. What can my results tell me?

Together, the tests give a snapshot of several prenatal topics at once. Screening looks at hepatitis B, HIV, and syphilis. Rubella IgG shows your antibody status, and blood typing shows your ABO group and Rh factor. This information can help you and your provider discuss pregnancy care.

4. How do I interpret the results?

Results are best read as a set, alongside your medical history and clinical context. Screening results, antibody levels, and blood type each provide a different kind of information, so one value does not tell the whole story. Methodology and the performing lab can also affect how results are reported. Review them with a qualified healthcare provider.

Disclaimer: Reference ranges may vary by laboratory. Listed ranges are general guidelines and may differ from those used by the performing lab. Always consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.

5. What should I do if my results are abnormal?

Try not to draw conclusions from a single flagged value. Share your full report with a qualified healthcare provider, who can look at the pattern across your results and your health history. They can explain what the findings mean for you and whether any further evaluation is appropriate.
