Patient's question:
Consultation Description: My baby hasn't been born for a few months yet. Recently, during my postpartum period, I couldn't take good care of the child properly. Lately, I've noticed that the child feels very yellow all over. When I breastfeed at home, they don't want to eat. I wondered if they were sick and went for a check-up. After the examination, the doctor said that there is a need to undergo newborn disease screening. Newborn disease screening center?Doctor's answer:
Hello, newborn disease screening is generally conducted at local newborn screening centers. Newborn disease screening refers to the advanced laboratory testing of each newborn baby to detect certain serious inherited metabolic diseases, thereby enabling early diagnosis and early treatment to prevent babies from suffering intellectual, physical development disabilities or even death due to harm to the brain, liver, kidneys, etc. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
