As opções de Teste de Risco Fetal DLE têm como objetivo identificar o risco de gestação
afetada em grávidas de todas as idades.
Os resultados das gestantes submetidas aos testes são comparados aos dados obtidos de uma
população de grávidas brasileiras, com vistas a tornar os testes eficientes na nossa
realidade, evitando comparações com grávidas de países com composição étnica diferente do Brasil
(Europa e Estados Unidos).
São utilizadas combinações de marcadores e escolhidos níveis de corte, que delimitam os
testes positivos, com o objetivo de maximizar a detecção de gestações afetadas e minimizar
tanto a ansiedade provocada por um teste positivo em uma gestação não-afetada quanto o
número de gestantes submetidas a procedimentos invasivos.
O laboratório DLE disponibiliza sua Assessoria Científica, composta por profissionais
preparados, para esclarecer dúvidas técnicas e sobre interpretação de laudos.
