"...a high AFP is a warning sign for spina bifida - but it is also a warning sign for "adverse pregnancy outcome..." |

Q: Have there been any studies or is there a connection between a positive Triple AFP test and HELLP syndrome? I developed HELLP and had to deliver my baby at 23 weeks. Unfortunately, my baby did not survive. About 4-6 weeks before developing HELLP I was told by my doctor that I would be considered high risk because of a positive Triple AFP test and that I would need to repeat the test and have a level 2 sonogram. I repeated the test which came out with the same results, however the level 2 sonogram showed that there were no signs of spina bifida. The doctors did not seem to be concerned and said everything was normal. Were the Triple AFP results a warning sign? |
