The dual marker and NT scan give a combined calculated risk. What matters is that single risk number on the report, not any individual marker in isolation. NIPT is offered when the combined risk crosses a threshold, or when strong personal preference exists.
Next Steps
Please share the exact risk value with your obstetrician. If the combined risk is above the threshold, NIPT is the correct next step. If it is low risk, routine antenatal care continues without extra scans.
Health Tips
Please do not draw conclusions from any single marker in isolation.
