Hi,

I have never heard of Aminolytic test. In your case I will assume it as Amniocentesis Test which is used in prenatal diagnosis of fetal infection or chromosomal abnormality. The amniotic fluid can be studied for genetic diagnosis, any infection, lung maturity, Rh incompatibility.
It is done usually between 15th to 20th weeks. 13 Weeks pregnancy is early for this test and with less fluid around fetus(Oligohydromnios) it will be more risky. It may cause fetal injury or infection of amniotic fluid.


Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
