The newborn disease screening primarily checks for the presence of genetic disorders.
Understanding the importance of neonatal disease screening and how to carry out screenings to prevent congenital genetic metabolic disorders.
Newborn disease screening is conducted in the early stages of a newborn’s life, using simple, sensitive, and rapid testing methods to identify diseases that threaten the newborn’s life. These diseases can affect the growth, development, and intelligence of the newborn. The screening includes newborn genetic metabolic disease screening and hearing screening. Newborn hearing screening is conducted in the early stages of a newborn’s life, using auditory emissions and auditory brainstem evoked potentials to detect newborn ear diseases and disorders. If the newborn hearing screening results are abnormal after the initial screening, further diagnosis will be conducted, and treatment and intervention will begin three months later.

Newborn disease screening is an important early check for newborns. What projects are included?
If a newborn’s thyroid hormone test results are abnormal, timely retesting and possibly medication treatment are necessary to avoid permanent damage to the nervous system.
It’s important to note that a newborn’s elevated TSH level during disease screening doesn’t necessarily indicate thyroid dysfunction.
Newborn disease screening involves identifying serious congenital metabolic and endocrine diseases through blood tests for early diagnosis and treatment, preventing potential health issues. If a baby’s disease screening is Not qualified, further examination and treatment are needed to prevent the delay of the condition.
