Obstetric Panel with Fourth Generation HIV, Hepatitis C Antibody with Reflex
Also known as: OB Panel with HIV HCV, Prenatal Panel with HIV HCV
Use
This obstetric screening panel is intended to provide comprehensive prenatal infectious disease assessment by combining components commonly included in first-trimester screening, including hematologic evaluation (CBC with differential and platelets), antibody screen with reflex to identification, ABO Group and Rh Type, syphilis screening via RPR with reflex to titer and confirmatory testing, hepatitis B surface antigen with reflex confirmation, and now includes fourth-generation HIV antigen/antibody testing and hepatitis C antibody with reflex testing. It supports maternal and fetal health management by facilitating timely identification of infectious risks during pregnancy.
