About test
What does PREGNANCY ASSOCIATED PLASMA PROTEIN A measure?
This test measures pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A), a protein produced mainly by the placenta during pregnancy. It may be used as part of first-trimester prenatal screening to help assess the likelihood of certain fetal chromosomal conditions when interpreted with other screening findings and clinical information. PAPP-A levels may also be considered in evaluating placental function and pregnancy-related risks.
