What is PlGF?
PlGF is a maternal blood test used in pregnancy to assess the risk of pre-eclampsia — a pregnancy complication with high blood pressure — using markers such as PlGF (and, in some versions, the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio). It is part of Lilac Insights' Evico range of pregnancy screening tests.
Why is PlGF done?
- Estimates the chance of common chromosomal conditions (and, for the -PE tests, pre-eclampsia) from blood markers.
- A routine early screen that helps your doctor decide whether further testing, such as NIPT or a diagnostic test, is worthwhile.
Who may be advised to take PlGF?
- Pregnant women — first-trimester tests are done at about 11 weeks to 13 weeks 6 days, second-trimester tests at about 15–20 weeks.
- Women who want a risk estimate alongside their ultrasound scans.

Good to know
- It gives a risk estimate, not a diagnosis — 'screen positive' does not mean the baby has a condition.
- Accurate dating of the pregnancy matters, because marker values are interpreted by gestational age.
- A higher-risk result is usually followed by NIPT or a diagnostic test such as CVS or amniocentesis.
