Q

Pathophysiology of HTN in pregnancy

A

The placenta fails to invade properly to the level of the spiral arterioles leading to a high resistance placenta

This causes the release of vasculoendothelial substances from the placenta that causes multi-organ problems for the mother

The hormonal consequences result in generalised vasoconstriction. At the same time, endothelial cell damage causes interstitial leakage through which blood constituents, including platelets and fibrinogen, are deposited subendothelially

33
The woman is 25 years old, should Down syndrome screening be discussed with her
Yes, it should be. Maternal age is irrelevant for having a baby with Down syndrome. Maternal age is a risk factor just like any other condition
34

Medicare-funded if high risk, if not it's private 90%
35
NIPT
``` 99.5-99.9 sensitive 400$ Harmony test private SCREENING ``` The test is done after 10 weeks and is more than 99% accurate for Down syndrome Trisomies 21, 18, 13; sex chromosome conditions*( sex conditions its upto the patient)
36
What is the risk of miscarriage with these screening a diagnostic test

38
Why are we doing antenatal screening
``` Down syndrome-trisomy 21 Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) Patau syndrome (trisomy 13) Neural tube defects(spinal cord defects) ```
39
What will these screening tests tell the patient | vs diagnostic test
Screening tests: These do not give you a definitive answer, but let you know if your baby is at increased risk of Down syndrome. Screening tests do not harm the mother or baby. Diagnostics test: These are very accurate, giving you a definitive answer. Diagnostic tests are usually offered to women whose babies are at increased risk, based on the result of the screening tests. A diagnostic test can increase your risk of having a miscarriage, so they aren’t routinely offered to all women.
40
Second-trimester screening involves
The second trimester ‘quadruple test’ involves a different formula based on demographic information and the maternal serum levels of four markers; alpha-feto protein, human chorionic gonadotrophin, unconjugated estriol and inhibin
41
Doctor, I know my screening test are high risk can I not have the diagnostic test
You don’t have to undergo any tests if you don’t want to. If you have a screening test that shows your baby is at increased risk of Down syndrome, you don’t have to proceed to the diagnostic test.
42
There are 3 types of screening test for Down syndrome:
1) the combined first-trimester screening 2) the non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) 3) and second-trimester maternal serum screening.
43
What are prenatal screening tests? what are they looking for
``` chromosomal conditions (Down syndrome, and Patau syndrome) neural tube defects (spina bifida or anencephaly) birth defects (congenital heart or kidney conditions) ```
44
If it a down syndrome station, what questions must you ask the mother
Any known genetic conditions among close family members (refer to ‘Family history’). History of intellectual disability (ID), multiple pregnancy loss, stillbirth, children with congenital abnormalities.
