Patient's question:
I was told by the doctor two days after giving birth that they would need to take a foot blood sample from the child to perform newborn genetic metabolic disease screening. I don't know if it's necessary to have newborn genetic metabolic disease screening.Doctor's answer:
Newborn genetic metabolic disease screening is an important examination for newborns. Because during the screening, it can effectively rule out genetic diseases in newborns. It can also effectively rule out the occurrence of renal insufficiency and cerebral palsy in newborns. Moreover, if newborn genetic metabolic disease screening is not performed, the child will not be registered for a household registration. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
