Pregnancy Marker Test — Your First Step to Confirming New Life

AK Diagnostics — Helping You Begin Your Pregnancy Journey with Confidence What Are Pregnancy Markers? Pregnancy markers are biological substances, mainly hormones and proteins, that appear in the blood or urine of a woman during pregnancy. These markers are crucial indicators of pregnancy health and development.
