Pregnancy laboratory tests – Third trimester

Blood count: A blood count is a complex test used to determine the relative and absolute number, type, size, shape, and other physical characteristics of the formed elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets) present in the blood.

Creatinine (with eGFR): The purpose of determining creatinine levels is to assess the normal functioning of the kidneys.

Urea: The purpose of the test is to assess the normal functioning of the kidneys.

Bilirubin: Laboratory testing may indicate that the patient has some form of liver disease. The amount of bilirubin in the blood is measured.

GOT: The test is used to show the extent of liver damage.

GPT: The test mainly shows the extent of liver damage, but other diseases may be revealed, be it disorders of the pancreas, myocardium or musculoskeletal system.

Total urine + sediment: Screening for metabolic and renal disorders.

Group B Streptococcus screening from vaginal secretions: Group B streptococcus is carried in the vagina by 10 to 25 percent of expectant mothers. The bacterium infects the newborn mostly during childbirth, in the birth canal, but in rare cases, the infection can also occur during pregnancy. The bacterium can cause meningitis and pneumonia in the baby, as well as puerperal sepsis.

Blood type with antibody screening: Blood type determination is especially important because the blood type of the foetus may be different from that of the expectant mother, so the body of the pregnant woman can identify it as a foreigner and produce antibodies as a defence. These antibodies can pose a serious threat to the health of the foetus.
