My child needs to undergo a medical examination. How is newborn disease screening conducted? Can you explain it in detail? Hello. Newborn heel prick blood test is a mandatory screening program and a means to detect related congenital diseases. Currently, our country mainly screens for congenital hypothyroidism and phenylketonuria. The heel prick blood is part of peripheral blood, making the blood collection relatively convenient. This has nothing to do with the exam results. Generally speaking, the exam results will be announced about a month later. If there are any abnormalities, further examination and clear diagnosis are required.
