Special examinations during pregnancy show the development of your child. In the process, you can detect or exclude possible illnesses or malformations in your baby early.
Between 11th+6 and 13+6 week of gestation
Measuring the nuchal translucency enables the calculation of probability for a chromosomal abnormality in the unborn child (e.g. Down syndrome).
It can also serve as a sign for a heart defect and a number of other congenital or acquired diseases.
Between 10th+1 and 22nd week of gestation
This test searches for the three most common congenital forms of trisomy, such as the Down Syndrome, Edwards Syndrome and Pätau Syndrome.
Independent validation studies showed a detection rate of 99.9% for these three forms of trisomy.
Additionally, further genetic modifications can be tested, such as microdeletion syndromes and maldistribution of sex chromosomes.
Upon request, also your baby's sex can be determined.
As from the 16th week of gestation
The amniocentesis is implemented for the targeted diagnosis after an abnormal first-trimester test.
If there is a severe hereditary disease within the family, an amniocentesis can determine whether an unborn child is affected by a genetic defect.
Through the abdominal wall of the pregnant woman, a small amount of amniotic water is extracted from the amniotic sac with a thin hollow needle (under ultrasound control) and genetically analysed.
20th - 24th week of gestation
In the organ screening, all embryonic organs as well as the unborn child's body structure is thoroughly examined.
Here, the main focus is the development of the brain, the face, the spine, the inner organs and the limbs.
ALL PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCES.
From July 1st 2023, medicines covered by public insurance in Austria can be sent via e-prescription (independent of ELGA).
All persons insured in Austria can pick up their medication with a health insurance e-prescription at any Austrian pharmacy - but not at web/online pharmacies! Private prescriptions cannot be sent - they have to be collected at the practice.
As of July 1st 2023, the e-card must be inserted at the practice once per quarter so that the e-prescription is activated for 90 days .
After we received and checked the results we proceed as follows:
1. In case of an urgent result that is subject to treatment we contact you actively and communicate the necessary steps (therapy, appointment, prescription, ...).
2. If you have not heard of us within 2 weeks, you can be assured that your results do not require any further medical clarification or treatment. In this case, even if the result deviates from the reference range, we offer you to ask within your next regular appointment.
Currently we are not able to answer your e-mails regarding that matter due to high influx of e-mails. We kindly ask you for your understanding. THANK YOU.
