AN OVERVIEW
About pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) test
Why is the pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) test done?
PAPP-A test is done:
- To check if the foetus is at a risk of developing chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome/trisomy 21 or Edwards syndrome/trisomy 18. Both of these can seriously affect the proper growth and development of the foetus due to the presence of extra chromosomes.
- As a part of first trimester screening.
- To check the possible occurrence of complications at the time of delivery, such as preeclampsia and stillbirth.
What does the pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) test measure?
Pregnancy associated plasma protein test measures the levels of PAPP-A in the blood during pregnancy to check if the foetus is at a risk of developing any chromosomal conditions. The levels of PAPP-A increase in the blood of a pregnant woman and gradually decrease after delivery.
Risks/side effects of pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) test:

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) test results
A pregnant woman’s age and her foetus’ gestational age is taken into consideration for examining the PAPP-A test results.
Low levels of PAPP-A in the test result indicate preeclampsia or the risks the foetus might have of developing aneuploidies, such as Down syndrome/trisomy 21 or Edwards syndrome/trisomy 18. These low levels can also convey the complications that can occur at the time of delivery, such as stillbirth, preterm birth, low birth weight, etc.
On the other hand, high levels of PAPP-A in the test result indicate that the woman is pregnant or there is a potential risk of getting a heart attack or developing acute coronary syndrome.
