Patient's question:
Your baby is undergoing newborn disease screening. However, the gender was mistakenly changed from female to male on the results slip by the hospital. Does this affect the test results?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal disease screening refers to the examination of every newborn baby. Through advanced laboratory tests, it identifies certain serious congenital genetic metabolic diseases, enabling early diagnosis and early treatment. This helps prevent intellectual and physical developmental disabilities or even death in babies due to damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, etc. Based on your situation, if it's just a simple mistake in identifying the gender, it won't affect the test results. However, you need to check whether the test results were also misplaced.
