Prenatal Testing

Prenatal testing in Sarjapur Road,Bangalore with NIPT and anomaly scan

How It Works

Prenatal testing combines imaging, biochemical screening, and genetic analysis to assess fetal development and detect conditions that could affect newborn screening in Sarjapur Road or early childhood health outcomes.

At Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road, initial counselling includes a review of maternal health, family genetics, and pregnancy risk factors to choose the most appropriate, evidence-based tests for each pregnancy. Common pathways include first-trimester combined screening, non-invasive prenatal testing for chromosomal risk, targeted anomaly ultrasound in mid-pregnancy, and diagnostic invasive testing when indicated.

When a diagnostic test is advised, procedures such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis are performed under strict infection-controlled protocols with expert sonography guidance and careful counselling. Results are reviewed by a multidisciplinary team including obstetricians, geneticists, and neonatologists who discuss findings, options, and follow-up plans so families can make informed, supported decisions. In time-sensitive situations, rapid reporting, referral to specialised centres, and coordination with neonatal care ensure delivery planning matches the baby’s needs as closely as possible.

Benefits

Prenatal testing at Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road provides early, actionable findings to guide delivery planning and newborn care decisions.

  • Detects chromosomal and structural anomalies early so parents and clinicians can plan delivery location, neonatal support, and interventions when needed.

  • Combines non-invasive screening with diagnostic testing options, rapid counselling, and multidisciplinary follow-up to reduce uncertainty for families.

What to Expect

From referral to reporting and follow-up, Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road provides clear steps, compassionate counselling, and timely genetic testing.

  • Consultation & Diagnosis

    • A genetic counsellor records family history, discusses prior test results, and identifies the most relevant prenatal screens or diagnostic pathways for the pregnancy.

  • Pre-test Guidance

    • Counsellors explain purpose, limitations, consent requirements, and realistic expectations about possible outcomes so families are prepared before samples are taken.

  • Sample Collection & Testing

    • Blood or saliva samples are taken gently, labelled accurately, and sent to accredited laboratories for targeted panels or broader sequencing, depending on clinical indications.

  • Diagnostic Procedures

    • When indicated, chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis is performed with ultrasound guidance and infection-controlled protocols to obtain diagnostic certainty.

  • Result Review & Counselling

    • A multidisciplinary team meets to interpret results, translate findings into practical options, and outline implications for delivery and neonatal care planning.

  • Cascade Testing & Follow-up

    • If a pathogenic variant is found, cascade testing is offered for relatives along with written family letters, appointment help, and ongoing psychosocial support.

  • Rapid Access

    • Rapid reporting and urgent review slots are available for time-sensitive reproductive choices or unexpected findings, so families receive prompt guidance.

FAQ's

Prenatal testing in Sarjapur Road screens for chromosomal differences, structural anomalies, and key metabolic conditions that could affect the baby. Results guide delivery planning, neonatal support, and early postnatal interventions when required.
 

NIPT is often recommended for those with advanced maternal age, abnormal initial screening, or specific family histories; it refines chromosomal risk before considering invasive diagnostic tests and counselling.
 

Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling are accurate diagnostic tools with small procedure-related risks, and genetic counsellors discuss risks and benefits to support informed parental decisions.
 

Turnaround times vary by test and lab workload, with many screening results in days and diagnostic sequencing commonly two to six weeks; expedited reporting is available for time-sensitive clinical situations.
 

Antenatal findings can alter timing, delivery location, and neonatal support plans; the multidisciplinary team coordinates delivery and neonatal care to match the baby’s anticipated needs.
