Why is the review rate of Heel Blood so high?

Because heel blood is checking phenylketonuria and hypothyroidism, the data is abnormal and needs to be rechecked. If the results of multiple rechecks are normal, there is no need to recheck. Because it is a newborn, we should keep up with the nutrition intake. Usually give your child plenty of water, balanced nutrition and keep warm. Heel blood screening of newborn refers to collecting heel blood for examination within 72 hours after birth. Mainly for diseases with high incidence, no obvious symptoms in the early stage but positive laboratory indicators, which can be diagnosed and treated. At present, domestic screening programs include congenital hypothyroidism and phenylketonuria.

The blood collection time in heel blood is within 3-7 days after birth, and newborns are exclusively breastfed. For those who did not draw blood for various reasons (premature infants, low birth weight infants, early discharge, etc.). ), no later than 20 days after birth. Neonatal disease screening is to collect neonatal heel blood through delivery hospital (drop blood on special paper, and then send blood piece to neonatal disease screening center for testing).
