After confirming pregnancy, women should regularly go to the hospital for corresponding pregnancy tests, including biochemical tests. However, many pregnant women fail to undergo proper prenatal biochemical tests due to a lack of understanding. So how many biochemical tests should be done throughout the entire pregnancy?
Biochemical examination is the use of biological methods to examine the body. And biochemical tests for women during pregnancy usually only need to be conducted once. After a woman becomes pregnant, in addition to biochemical tests, different tests need to be conducted almost every month throughout the pregnancy as the fetus grows. Of course, if the fetus develops well, the tests can be extended.
Many tests are necessary for women after pregnancy, including biochemical tests such as kidney function, blood glucose, blood lipids, electrolytes, myocardial enzyme spectrum, etc. Each test item needs to be determined according to the medical conditions of their hospital. Usually, for biochemical tests, liver function tests include 9 to 15 items, kidney function tests include 2 to 6 items, electrolyte tests include 5 to 7 items, and blood glucose and lipid tests include 4 to 6 items.
In addition to the above biochemical tests, pregnant women also need to be examined by B-ultrasound, color ultrasound, urine routine test, blood routine test, Down's screening, trace elements, uterine height, abdominal circumference, fetal heart monitoring and other tests with the growth of pregnancy, and diabetes tests are also needed in the late pregnancy. These examinations can provide a better understanding of the health status of the fetus and pregnant women.
