Amniotic Fluid Study at the Top Ichilov Clinic
Israeli medicine places great emphasis on ensuring the health of the mother and child before, during, and after childbirth, with the efforts of many highly professional specialists directed towards achieving this goal.
At the Top Ichilov Clinic, equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology and staffed by experienced and qualified medical personnel, numerous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are performed to promote the proper and healthy development of the embryo. One such examination is called "amniocentesis."
Amniocentesis (amniocentesis) is a puncture procedure for taking a sample of amniotic fluid from the uterus (amniotic fluid) for further laboratory analysis. This fluid surrounds the embryo during pregnancy. The amniotic fluid contains embryonic substances as well as chemicals produced during the embryo's life processes.
During genetic amniocentesis, the amniotic fluid is tested for a number of abnormalities such as:
- Down syndrome (Down syndrome)
- spina bifida (spina bifida)
An analysis of the baby's lung readiness for breathing air is also conducted. Additionally, amniocentesis is intended to determine the child's susceptibility to various diseases and infections.
In exceptional cases, amniocentesis is used to reduce the level of amniotic fluid.
Despite the possibility of obtaining reliable information about the child's condition, the decision to perform this invasive procedure must have sufficient grounds, as it involves intrusion into the future mother's body — the introduction of a thin needle under ultrasound control.
