What is this test?
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Checklist (LOINC: 78717-6) is a standardized screening tool used during prenatal care and gynecological examinations. It includes a series of blood tests (serum), urine tests, and physical assessments to evaluate the overall health status of pregnant individuals or those undergoing gynecological evaluation.
What tests are included?
The checklist typically includes: complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia and infections, blood type and Rh factor testing, syphilis screening, hepatitis B and C testing, HIV screening, rubella immunity testing, urinalysis for protein and glucose, and thyroid function tests. Additional tests may be added based on individual health needs.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm (serum sample). The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The process is quick and generally causes minimal discomfort. You may be asked to fast for 8-12 hours before certain blood tests.
Reference range
Adult males: 22-198 U/L; Females: 22-198 U/LN/A
No special preparation required. Inform provider of any chest pain or symptoms.
Clinical interpretation
How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.
This comprehensive checklist helps healthcare providers identify and manage potential health risks during pregnancy or gynecological care. Early detection of conditions like anemia, infections, or blood type incompatibilities allows for timely intervention and treatment. The test results guide prenatal care decisions and help ensure the best outcomes for both mother and baby.
