Please ask if abnormal newborn screening results must definitely indicate something

Patient's question:

Hello, is it definitely a problem if the newborn screening results are abnormal? I am 24 days old now, can I go to the hospital for a re-examination, or do I need to wait until 42 days?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this parent, the child's abnormal newborn screening indicators may be due to congenital developmental disorders, or it may be related to the test items. Newborn screening positive results should be reviewed as soon as possible. If a disease is diagnosed, early intervention is necessary to avoid missing the best treatment time. I suggest that after the child's test results are abnormal, you should communicate with the doctor in detail.
