Very high or low amounts of AFP [alpha-fetoprotein] in the mother's circulation have been associated with specific fetal abnormalities. If two other substances are measured along with AFP, the detection rate of the abnormalities is increased. The AFP-Triple Screen test measures the amount of three substances (AFP, estriol, and human chorionic gonadotropin) in the blood of pregnant women to detect pregnancies that have a higher risk for fetal abnormalities, as well as Trisomy 21 and Trisomy 18. 4, record 1, English, - triple%20marker%20screening
