Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The values of PAPP-A and free beta HCG are required in MoM (multiples of median) which is probably mentioned in the report. MoM values are obtained after considering race, ethnicity, age, weight and smoking status. It should be mentioned in the report.

This is because PAPP-A and free beta HCG is not a constant and changes with age of pregnancy. Your values look normal to me but a confirmation is required by doing calculations.

Calculation of risk for Trisomy 21 and 18-13 requires the MoM values of PAPP-A and free beta HCG along with the other mentioned details like age (32 years) and fetal age 9 weeks

Please attach a copy of the report to your query and send in a follow up. I will reply back after making the calculations. Please do not worry.
