Patient's question:
1、On August 29th, the genetic metabolic amino acid and acylcarnitine screening results at Fuyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital showed low methionine, requiring a re-examination.2、The re-examination report on September 19th indicated normal methionine levels, but the propionylcarnitine C3 value was high, at 11.46.
Doctor's answer:
If there are no symptoms and the increase is not significant, it is recommended to re-examine because the changes are not substantial and can be confirmed through further testing. If it is indeed this condition, special dietary measures are required. We know that pediatric genetic metabolic diseases have a significant impact on children. If left untreated or if the treatment is not appropriate, the condition can progress rapidly, causing great harm to young children. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
