What is the Estriol Unconjugated Serum (UE3) Test?

Unconjugated estriol (uE3) is a type of oestrogen (hormone) produced by the metabolism of the foetus (unborn infant). Birth abnormalities and chromosomal variants in newborns are diagnosed using estriol levels. Estriol is discharged into the mother's bloodstream from the placenta (a protective covering for the foetus) and quantified as unconjugated uE3. Estriol Unconjugated (E3) test is mainly used to diagnose Down syndrome when the levels are lower than the standard threshold, 14.60ng/ml in pregnant females.

Why done? 

• The test is used to monitor the baby's health in the mother's womb. 
• Unconjugated E3 testing is a routine second-trimester test performed on the mother's blood to determine pregnancy progress.
• Pregnancy risk monitoring: If your doctor feels that your pregnancy is at risk, they may request this test serially over many days to track changes in E3 levels.
• The E3 test is part of the triple marker test, which also analyses AFP and hCG levels in the mother's blood. It's a test to see if the baby has any genetic abnormalities.
