KKH guide to Down syndrome testing
KKH’s explanation of prenatal screening and diagnostic testing options.
What this resource offers
KKH distinguishes screening, which estimates whether a pregnancy is at increased risk, from diagnostic testing. It is a hospital guide for expectant families considering how tests differ and what questions to raise. Start with the obstetric team or request an appointment through KKH; ask how the test fits your stage of pregnancy and what counselling is available. Confirm individual risks and choices with clinicians.
