Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. The first child was suspected by the doctor of having a hereditary metabolic disease, but before blood samples could be collected, they passed away. I am pregnant again now,Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, amniocentesis can currently only detect chromosomal diseases. This includes congenital neural tube defects. For genetic metabolic diseases, there is currently no method for prenatal diagnosis. We know that pediatric genetic metabolic diseases can cause significant harm to children. If they are not treated in time or if the treatment methods are incorrect, the disease progresses rapidly, which can bring great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
