O Teste de Risco Fetal DLE tem 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.
