Pre-Pregnancy Check Up
Blood Type Test
This is a test that can reduce the risk of miscarriage, preterm birth, and stillbirth due to hemolysis by evaluating the basic health of pregnant women and testing blood types, RH factors, and irregular antibodies.
Basic Blood Test
Anemia and thrombocytopenia are tested to prevent complications of pregnancy (taking a hematopoietic agent if anemic).
Syphilis Test
Syphilis causes congenital syphilis when a fetus is infected.
Hepatitis B & C / Liver Function Test
Knowing if pregnant women has hepatitis is important for infection control of newborns.
AIDS Test
This is a test to prevent congenital AIDS.
Thyroid Function Test
Early detection of dysfunction of the thyroid gland is crucial. In case of abnormalities, additional thyroid function tests and treatment are required.
Rubella Antibody Test
Rubella can cause fetal infections during early pregnancy, resulting in cataracts and congenital heart disease in newborns.
Varicella Antibody Test
Infection during pregnancy can cause birth defects and fetal death. Therefore, getting vaccinated before pregnancy is recommended in the absence of antibodies.
Urine Test
Preeclampsia, diabetes, urethritis, pyelonephritis, kidney disease can be diagnosed to reduce the risk of miscarriage and premature birth.
Uterine Cancer Test
This test is for early diagnosis of uterine cancer.
Ultrasound
