Patient's question:
My baby is undergoing newborn disease screening. However, the gender was mistakenly changed from female to male on the result slip by the hospital. Does this affect the test results?Doctor's answer:
Newborn disease screening refers to advanced laboratory testing for every newborn baby. It aims to detect certain serious congenital metabolic diseases, enabling early diagnosis and treatment. This helps prevent intellectual and physical developmental disabilities in infants, and even death due to damage to the brain, liver, kidneys, or other organs. Based on your situation, a simple gender error will not affect the test results.
