Phenyl Alanine Neonatal Screen Dried Blood Spot Test

The Phenyl Alanine Neonatal Screen Dried Blood Spot Test is a screening test performed on newborns to detect the presence of phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to process the amino acid phenylalanine. PKU can lead to intellectual disabilities and other serious health problems if not treated early.

The test involves collecting a small amount of blood from a newborn's heel and analyzing it for levels of phenylalanine. Elevated levels of phenylalanine in the blood may indicate the presence of PKU. Early detection and treatment of PKU through dietary management can prevent the development of serious complications.
