Hi everyone, I just received my blood test results and I wonder what does such combination of PAPP-A and beta-hCG indicate, I googled a bit but I couldn't find anything but I'm pretty sure it's not typical.

beta-hCG 38,3 iu/l, 0.675 MoM

PAPP-A 4,71 iu/l, 2.197 MoM

Hope anyone has some info. 11.2 gestational week, CRL 50.
 
@stan783 Was this for your combined screening? I had similar results and was referred for additional screening (NIPT, etc). The combined blood test is not remotely diagnostic, but these results possibly indicate more investigation is needed.
 
@vanniek yes, that's what I'm going to do (NIPT).
I understand the opposite results (high beta, low pappa) indicate certain risks, just wondered what about the combination I have.

hope your results will be good.
 
@stan783 Thank you - this happened to me earlier this year. Read ahead if you would like to know how it went for me.

I had a high risk NIPT for Trisonomy 18 that was ultimately diagnosed with an amnio. I chose to TFMR at 17 weeks.
