Description
Package No. 24 – first trimester biochemical screening. Includes PAPP-A and free β-hCG determination to assess the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities (21, 18, 13). Recommended for weeks 11–13 as part of combined screening.
When and who needs the test?
Package No. 24 is recommended for pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy to assess levels of PAPP-A and free β-hCG markers, which are associated with the risk of trisomies 21, 18, and 13.
Recommended timing: from 11 weeks 0 days to 13 weeks 6 days of pregnancy, based on ultrasound results.
The study does not include an individual risk calculation and does not take into account ultrasound parameters or personal patient characteristics. The indicators are interpreted without calculating the combined risk using software (PRISCA), and therefore may be less informative than with full combined screening.
This package is recommended for use:

- as part of a more comprehensive approach to fetal monitoring.
