Two-month-old baby with elevated C3 acylcarnitine level

Patient's question:

1、On August 29th, the genetic metabolic amino acid and acylcarnitine screening results at Fuyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital showed low methionine, requiring a re-examination.
2、The re-examination report on September 19th showed normal methionine but high C3 (propionylcarnitine) value of 11.46.

Doctor's answer:

If there are no symptoms and the increase is not significant, it is recommended to re-examine because the changes are not substantial. If it is indeed this condition, special dietary measures will be required.
