72 hours after birth, newborns need to draw blood from their heels for disease screening. Generally including hypothyroidism and phenylketonuria.

Because of its regional nature, G-6-P-D screening will increase in southern China. These tests are very necessary. If abnormalities are found, they can be treated as soon as possible.

Neonatal disease screening refers to screening some serious congenital metabolic diseases and endocrine diseases through blood tests, that is, early detection, early diagnosis, early intervention and early treatment to avoid growth and development, mental retardation and even death caused by brain, liver and kidney damage. There are dozens of metabolic diseases that can be screened. At present, the screening of phenylketonuria (PKU) and congenital hypothyroidism (CH) in China has been included in the free screening program.

The so-called neonatal heel blood screening refers to the collection of heel blood for examination 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.

Newborns For all live-born newborns who have been breastfed at least 6-8 times within 72 hours after birth, heel blood disease screening includes newborns with hyperphenylalaninemia and congenital hypothyroidism, and newborns with glucose -6- phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in red blood cells.

Neonatal disease screening is an effective measure for tertiary prevention of diseases. It refers to the group screening of congenital and hereditary diseases that endanger children's lives, growth and development and lead to mental retardation by medical and health institutions using fast, simple and sensitive inspection methods. Therefore, when children have no clinical symptoms, but their metabolism has abnormal changes, early diagnosis and early effective symptomatic treatment can be made to avoid irreversible damage to their important organs and ensure their normal physical development and intellectual development.

Homophenylalanine is the most common autosomal recessive amino acid metabolic disease, and most of them are normal at birth. After 3-4 months, untreated people gradually develop mental retardation, hair turns from black to yellow, skin turns white, and the whole body and urine may have special rat odor. Children with congenital hypothyroidism can be divided into primary and secondary according to the lesion site. Due to atypical clinical symptoms, thyroid dysfunction can be found by early screening, and thyroxine tablets can be used as soon as possible to prevent serious sequelae of mental retardation.
