Patient's question:
Today I received a phone call notification saying that there was an abnormality in the newborn screening of my baby at home, and it asked me to go for a re-examination at the provincial health insurance. It said that one of the normal indicators should be 15. My baby's result was around 100, and the information sent over showed CH abnormality. The difference is so big? I'm almost dying of anxiety, what kind of disease could it be!Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, after a baby is born, newborn metabolic disease screening is usually performed. This is typically done by taking a heel blood sample three days after birth. You can log in to the website to check the results within one week, or up to one month at the latest. If you don't receive a phone call, it means there are no abnormalities. If the screening results are abnormal, it will be recommended to undergo a recheck.
