What does this test Baby Screen- 2 Conditions Test identify?

Baby Screen- 2 Conditions Test

The Baby Screen- 2 Conditions Test is designed to identify two specific conditions in newborn babies:

  1. Phenylketonuria (PKU): PKU is a genetic disorder that causes a buildup of the amino acid phenylalanine in the body. If left untreated, this buildup can lead to intellectual disabilities and other health problems. The Baby Screen- 2 Conditions Test screens for elevated levels of phenylalanine in the blood, which can indicate PKU.
  2. Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This can lead to developmental delays and other health issues if not treated early. The Baby Screen- 2 Conditions Test screens for abnormal levels of thyroid hormone in the blood, which can indicate hypothyroidism.

Early detection of these conditions through the Baby Screen- 2 Conditions Test allows for prompt intervention and treatment, which can greatly improve the long-term health outcomes of affected infants.

Reasons for taking the Baby Screen- 2 Conditions Test

The Baby Screen- 2 Conditions Test is taken to screen newborn babies for two common genetic conditions: phenylketonuria (PKU) and congenital hypothyroidism. These conditions can have serious health implications if not detected and treated early.

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to process phenylalanine, an amino acid found in many foods. If left untreated, PKU can lead to intellectual disability, seizures, and other serious health problems. Early detection through newborn screening allows for dietary interventions that can prevent these complications.

Congenital hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. If not detected and treated early, congenital hypothyroidism can lead to growth and developmental delays. Newborn screening for this condition allows for prompt treatment with thyroid hormone replacement therapy, which can prevent these complications.

In conclusion, the Baby Screen- 2 Conditions Test is an important screening tool that helps to identify and treat PKU and congenital hypothyroidism in newborn babies, thereby preventing serious health issues and ensuring optimal development and growth.
