Newborn disease screening C2 and C5 are high normal?

Patient's question:

Hello, our baby's newborn disease screening showed high levels of C2 and C5. After ten days, the retest results were twice as high as before? I would like to know what disease this could be, what follow-up tests should we do with the child, and can this condition be treated? Will it affect intelligence?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the result suggests a high C5 level in newborn screening. This situation doesn't need to be overly concerned about. Pay attention to performing irregular follow-up tests, as a single value has no significant diagnostic value in clinical diagnosis. Based on the symptoms, pay attention to performing irregular follow-up tests, as a single value has no significant diagnostic value in clinical diagnosis.
