Brief Details
What is the NIPT Test?
The NIPT Test, also called Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing, is a blood test done during pregnancy to screen your baby’s risk for certain chromosomal abnormalities. It analyses small fragments of placental DNA that circulate in your blood.
This test is mainly used to assess the risk of trisomy 21, trisomy 18 and trisomy 13, which are linked to Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome and Patau syndrome. It may also screen for sex chromosome aneuploidies, but foetal sex is not disclosed as per the PC-PNDT Act.
The test uses a maternal blood sample collected from a vein in your arm. It is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. A high-risk result needs further confirmation through diagnostic testing and genetic counselling.
Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about health tests, bookings, and reports.
The NIPT Test is usually done from 10 weeks of pregnancy onwards, as advised by your doctor. It is best done after your first scan and with the required pregnancy documents.
No. Overnight fasting is not required for the NIPT Test. You can eat and drink normally before your blood sample is collected.
Mild dehydration usually does not change chromosomal screening results, but it can make blood collection more difficult. Drink water normally before the test unless your doctor advises otherwise.
No special diet is needed. Continue your medicines unless your doctor tells you to stop them. Inform your doctor about your medicines, pregnancy details and any major recent medical treatment.
A trained professional cleans your arm, inserts a sterile needle into a vein and collects about 10 ml of blood in a special Streck tube. The process usually takes only a few minutes.
The test is safe for the pregnancy because it only needs your blood sample. You may feel slight pain, bruising or mild dizziness during or after the blood draw.
NIPT does not have one normal level like many routine blood tests. A reassuring result is usually reported as Low Risk for the screened chromosomes, with adequate foetal fraction and z-scores within the reference interval.
No. This test does not reveal the foetal sex as per the PC-PNDT Act. The report focuses on chromosomal risk assessment for the screened conditions.
No. NIPT is a screening test, not a diagnostic test. A high-risk result needs confirmation through diagnostic testing and genetic counselling.
A low-risk result means there is a low chance of the screened chromosomal conditions. It does not rule out every genetic or birth condition, so follow your doctor’s pregnancy care plan.
A high-risk result means there is a higher chance of a screened chromosomal condition. Your doctor may advise genetic counselling, ultrasound review and confirmatory diagnostic testing.
You need a completed NIPT TRF and consent form with clinician stamp, ultrasound report, dual and quadruple marker report, and photo identification proof.
