Private examinations - NIPT

NIPT (non-invasive prenatal test) from week 12

As a pregnant woman, you may feel anxious and a need to know as much as possible about your expected child. Blicka ultrasound clinic in Täby offers private NIPT where you as a patient bear the cost yourself.

You do not need to be registered in Stockholm to book a private NIPT with us. We place great emphasis on a safe and calm approach. 

What is NIPT

NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Test) is a blood test taken like a regular venous sample from the pregnant woman's arm crease. In the blood of the pregnant woman, there are small amounts of the fetus's DNA that can be analyzed through the blood test. The test provides information about the likelihood of certain chromosomal abnormalities.   

See more information at Karolinska

What can you learn with NIPT

NIPT can indicate with high probability if the fetus has chromosomal abnormalities such as Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome), or Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), as well as if the number of sex chromosomes deviates, such as in Turner syndrome or Klinefelter syndrome. 
Since the sex chromosomes are analyzed, it is possible to know the sex of the expected child with great certainty if desired. 

How safe is NIPT?

The test is completely risk-free for both mother and child and has very high reliability. If NIPT results are positive, a chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis must always confirm the diagnosis.

When can one do NIPT

With us, you can perform NIPT after you have done CUB.  NIPT can be taken from pregnancy week 12 onwards. During CUB, it has been confirmed that the fetus is alive, the gestational age, and that no physical abnormalities are seen, and that CUB has not indicated an increased probability where the woman is entitled to free NIPT if she wishes. 
Wished NIPT despite a low probability of chromosomal abnormalities at CUB is at one's own expense. 

How and when will I receive an answer to my NIPT

The blood test is sent to Karolinska's lab for analysis and the result often comes after a week, but sometimes it takes up to two weeks. You log in to the patient portal with Bank-ID where all normal results will be available. If the result shows any deviations, the midwife from Blicka Ultrasound Clinic will contact you for further processing. If no response has been received after two weeks or if you cannot log in, please contact us by phone or via 1177.se
