Many people are unfamiliar with hereditary metabolic diseases. However, it has become one of the main causes of death or disability in children. Experts from the Department of child care of Shenyang women and children hospital pointed out that there is no special clinical manifestation of neonatal genetic metabolic disease, which is easy to be ignored by parents. Once the disease occurs, the child's body and intelligence may have been seriously damaged. Therefore, we should pay attention to the early screening of neonatal genetic and metabolic diseases.
According to experts from the Department of Pediatrics, at present, there are only three kinds of genetic and metabolic diseases required by doctors after birth, including phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. At present, more than 500 kinds of metabolic defects have been found. The causes of neonatal genetic metabolism are not only heredity, but also gene mutation, environmental chemical pollution, pregnancy virus infection and other unpredictable factors.
When the newborn and parents have the following conditions, they belong to the high-risk group of disease, and should be checked as early as possible:
1. Both or one of the parents is too old;
2. The pregnant woman has a history of abortion;
3. Having had children with such diseases;
4. The newborn has feeding difficulties;
5. Neonatal jaundice is always persistent.
