Question
How to treat hyperuricemia in neonatal pediatrics?
Answer
If a newborn screening shows elevated citrulline levels but cannot be diagnosed as citrullinemia, it is recommended to undergo organic acid analysis at the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, which may be the only place in the country capable of performing this test. The results will take about a month to wait. With the threat of neonatal diseases, parents should immediately take their child to the hospital and avoid self-medicating to alleviate symptoms. Parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and do their best to help their child receive timely treatment for the disease.
