اختبار ما قبل الولادة غير الجراحي (NIPT)
Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is an advanced screening method used to detect chromosomal abnormalities in a fetus as early as 10 weeks of pregnancy. This test is done using a simple blood sample from the mother, making it a safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional diagnostic tests like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS).
NIPT analyzes cell-free fetal DNA (cfDNA) present in the mother's blood to screen for genetic conditions such as Down syndrome (Trisomy 21), Edwards syndrome (Trisomy 18), and Patau syndrome (Trisomy 13). Some advanced NIPT options also provide information about sex chromosome abnormalities and fetal gender.

المتضمنات
1. Chromosomal Abnormality Screening
✔ Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome) – Extra copy of chromosome 21, leading to intellectual and developmental delays.
✔ Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) – Severe developmental issues, often life-threatening.
✔ Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome) – Rare but serious disorder affecting multiple organs.
2. Sex Chromosome Abnormalities (Optional, Depending on Test Type)
✔ Turner Syndrome (Monosomy X) – Affects females due to missing or incomplete X chromosome.
✔ Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY Syndrome) – Affects males with an extra X chromosome, leading to developmental issues.
✔ Triple X Syndrome (XXX Syndrome) – Extra X chromosome in females, usually with mild symptoms.
✔ XYY Syndrome – Extra Y chromosome in males, often with minimal effects.
3. Fetal Gender Determination (Optional)
✔ Available upon request if parents wish to know the baby’s gender.
الاستثناءات
- Physical Birth Defects – NIPT does not detect structural abnormalities like cleft palate or heart defects.
- Other Genetic Conditions – Does not screen for non-chromosomal genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease.
- Paternity Testing – NIPT is not designed to determine biological parentage.
- Insurance Coverage – Coverage varies based on location and healthcare provider.

A Health Check-Up is a preventive medical examination designed to assess your overall health status and detect early signs of diseases or risk factors. These check-ups typically include a series of physical examinations, laboratory tests, and diagnostic screenings tailored to age, gender, medical history, and lifestyle.
Routine health check-ups are essential for early detection of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and cancer. They help doctors monitor critical indicators like blood pressure, cholesterol levels, organ function, and more. Depending on the package or provider, a health check-up can range from basic blood tests to advanced imaging like CT scans or full-body MRIs.
