Advance Antenatal Profile in Gurgaon

52 parameters across 10 components: Complete Blood Count (CBC) + ESR (21), Complete Urine Analysis (17), Blood Picture - Peripheral Smear Examination (5), Thyroid Profile with Tri-Iodothyronine Total (TT3), Thyroxine Total (TT4) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) (3), Blood Grouping (A B O) and Rh Type (1), Blood Glucose Fasting (1), Insulin-Fasting (1), HIV - Quantitative (Viral Load) (1), Hepatitis B Virus - Viral Load (1) and Hepatitis C Virus- Viral Load (1). Sample is blood and urine in one visit; 8 to 10 hours fasting is required.

It adds exactly two things. First, the full Thyroid Profile — Tri-Iodothyronine Total (TT3) and Thyroxine Total (TT4) alongside TSH — in place of the single Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) IHC test. Second, Insulin-Fasting. That is the whole difference: 52 parameters across 10 components against 49 across 9. Every other component is identical. Choose this version if your obstetrician wants a wider thyroid picture or a fasting insulin value; otherwise the Antenatal Profile covers the same ground.

No. HIV - Quantitative (Viral Load), Hepatitis B Virus - Viral Load and Hepatitis C Virus- Viral Load are viral load quantification assays. They measure how much virus is circulating in the blood of someone already known to be infected, and they are used to monitor disease activity and response to antiviral treatment. Screening for whether an infection is present uses different tests: HIV 1&2 antibody, HBsAg for hepatitis B, and anti-HCV for hepatitis C. Ask your obstetrician for those specifically if screening is what you need.

No. It is baseline laboratory work, not a complete first-trimester workup, and it does not satisfy an antenatal protocol. Antenatal care in India follows a visit-by-visit schedule set by the treating obstetrician, with particular tests at particular gestational weeks. Two standard elements of Indian antenatal care are absent from this profile: VDRL or RPR for syphilis, and rubella IgG. The ultrasound scans, the oral glucose tolerance test and the first-trimester screening markers are also not part of it.

It measures how much insulin is circulating on a fasting sample. Read alongside the Blood Glucose Fasting value, it indicates insulin resistance — the underlying mechanism of gestational diabetes — which can be present while glucose is still normal, because the pancreas compensates by producing more insulin. It is most useful if you have polycystic ovary syndrome, a high BMI or a family history of diabetes. It must be taken fasting; a non-fasting insulin value cannot be interpreted.

No. Fasting insulin is not a diagnostic test for gestational diabetes. The diagnosis is made with an oral glucose tolerance test, in which glucose is measured at intervals after a standard glucose drink, and your obstetrician schedules that separately — usually between 24 and 28 weeks. A normal fasting insulin and a normal fasting glucose early in pregnancy do not rule out gestational diabetes developing later, because insulin resistance rises as pregnancy progresses.

TSH alone detects most thyroid dysfunction and is the usual first-line test. Adding Tri-Iodothyronine Total (TT3) and Thyroxine Total (TT4) shows where in the pathway the problem sits rather than just that something is off. This matters because maternal hypothyroidism is associated with impaired fetal neurodevelopment; one in ten Indian adults is hypothyroid, and women roughly three times more often than men, 15.86% versus 5.02% (Unnikrishnan et al., Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013;17(4):647–652). Pregnancy shifts thyroid reference ranges by trimester, and total T3 and T4 are affected by rising binding proteins, so results need trimester-specific interpretation.

Because of Rh incompatibility. If you are Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive, your immune system can form antibodies against the baby's red cells. The first pregnancy is usually unaffected, but in a later pregnancy those antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy fetal red cells, causing haemolytic disease of the newborn. Anti-D immunoglobulin prophylaxis prevents almost all of this, given on a schedule your obstetrician sets — but only when the Rh status is documented. The ABO group is separately required before any transfusion at delivery.

It shows cell shape and structure, which no analyser can see. A qualified pathologist prepares a slide from your blood and reads it cell by cell, reporting five findings: Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets, Hemoparasites, and a written Impression. A CBC says haemoglobin is low; the smear says why — small pale microcytic cells for iron deficiency, large macrocytic cells for B12 or folate deficiency, sickle-shaped cells for sickle cell disease, which substantially changes how a pregnancy is managed. It also detects blast cells that may indicate leukaemia and malarial parasites inside red cells.

Anaemia is the first reason: over 50% of Indian women aged 15 to 49 are already anaemic (NFHS-5, 2019–21), and treatment depends on which type it is, which a cell count cannot tell you. The second is platelets. Automated counters misread platelet clumping as a dangerously low platelet count, and in pregnancy that error has consequences, because a genuinely low platelet count affects delivery and anaesthesia decisions. The Hemoparasites finding is the third: malaria and dengue are endemic in Delhi NCR, and malaria in pregnancy raises risk for both mother and baby.

It points to a cause rather than confirming one. The CBC indices and the peripheral smear together indicate the type — microcytic cells suggest iron deficiency, macrocytic cells suggest B12 or folate deficiency. But this profile does not include serum ferritin, vitamin B12 or folate levels, so those are indications, not confirmations. If microcytic cells are reported, thalassaemia trait is also possible, and that requires a separate haemoglobin electrophoresis or HPLC test. Your obstetrician decides the follow-up.

It reports 17 parameters, including nitrites, leukocytes and pus cells for urinary tract infection, plus protein and glucose. Urinary infection is common in pregnancy and often entirely without symptoms, while untreated infection is associated with preterm labour. Urine protein feeds pre-eclampsia surveillance. One limitation: a routine urine test detects overt proteinuria but not microalbuminuria, which needs a separate urine microalbumin or albumin-creatinine ratio test. A result suggesting infection is usually followed by a urine culture, which is not part of this profile.

Yes, 8 to 10 hours overnight, because both Blood Glucose Fasting and Insulin-Fasting require a fasting sample. Fasting insulin is uninterpretable otherwise. Water is allowed and makes the draw easier. To manage it: book the earliest morning slot, keep food ready to eat immediately after the sample, and have someone at home, since a long fast in pregnancy can cause nausea or light-headedness. If your obstetrician has advised you not to fast at this stage, tell us when booking and ask them what they want instead.

Yes, free across Gurgaon — Sector 14, 29, 38, 42, 44, 46, 49, 54, 55, 56, 57, Golf Course Road, Golf Course Extension, Sohna Road, DLF Phase 1 to 5, Udyog Vihar, Manesar, Palam Vihar, South City and Nirvana Country. A trained phlebotomist collects the blood and midstream urine samples at your door, which is particularly useful here because the profile needs fasting and you can eat as soon as the sample is taken. Samples travel to the laboratory in temperature-controlled conditions.

Digital reports arrive within 24 hours of sample collection. All 52 parameters come with reference ranges and flagged abnormal values. Carry the report to your next antenatal visit: thyroid values and haemoglobin are interpreted against your gestational week rather than standard adult ranges, and fasting insulin needs reading alongside the fasting glucose, so the interpretation belongs with your obstetrician.

Yes to both. Your sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after an evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel; it is not a blanket brand certification, and HealthVas does not claim to hold accreditation itself. To book for someone else, add her details and pick the earliest morning slot, since 8 to 10 hours of fasting is needed. Confirm with her obstetrician first which tests are wanted at her current gestational week — this profile is baseline laboratory work, not an antenatal protocol.
