Patient's question:
The doll was born in March. After birth, the baby underwent a health screening at the hospital. Today, the doctor from the hospital called to inform me that the blood test was not qualified, which means the baby's health screening did not pass. We need to have another check-up. I would like to ask what should I do if the baby's health screening does not pass?Doctor's answer:
Newborn screening refers to the process of identifying certain serious congenital metabolic and endocrine diseases through blood tests, enabling early diagnosis and treatment for children to prevent growth, intellectual development disorders, and even death, which may cause damage to the brain, liver, and kidneys. If there are any issues with the baby's disease screening, it is important to go to the hospital for a follow-up check or treatment to avoid delays. Congenital hypothyroidism and phenylketonuria being negative is a normal test result, indicating that the baby's body is also normal. It is essential to strengthen scientific care for the infant and conduct regular health check-ups.
