When people feel unwell, they choose to go to the hospital for a physical examination to diagnose the specific cause through various tests. In addition to physical discomfort, pregnant women also need to go to the hospital for timely physical examination. For example, biochemical testing is a must-have item during pregnancy. Let's learn about the routine biochemical screening tests?
Biochemical screening refers to a method of examining the health status of the human body using biological, chemical, and other methods. Biochemical screening mainly includes liver function, kidney function, blood glucose, blood lipids, urine routine, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, etc. These tests can understand the health status of pregnant women, screen for potential disease factors in their bodies, and detect whether they carry liver disease viruses.
Biochemical screening during pregnancy is a necessary test, and some pregnant women believe that these tests are optional and therefore unwilling to go to the hospital for examination. In fact, this idea is incorrect and may pose a threat to the health of the fetus due to the health hazards of pregnant women. It is recommended that pregnant women actively undergo examinations under the guidance of doctors in order to better care for the fetus.
In addition to biochemical screening, there are many other examination items that need to be done during pregnancy, such as NT screening during early pregnancy, Down syndrome screening in mid pregnancy, and major screening abnormalities in late pregnancy. These examinations are indispensable. Only by going to the hospital for examination on time can the developmental status of the fetus be understood in a timely manner, and pregnant women can take care of the fetus with peace of mind.
