What is Unconjugated Estriol?
Unconjugated Estriol (uE3) is a hormone produced by the fetus and placenta during pregnancy. This test measures its levels in the mother's blood, often as part of routine prenatal screening.
Why is this test important?
uE3 levels are commonly used as part of the "triple" or "quad" screen during the second trimester of pregnancy. Abnormal levels, especially when combined with other markers, can indicate an increased risk for certain chromosomal abnormalities or fetal health issues.
