A member asked:
How often will newborn screening need retested?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: In my state a screening is obtained prior to hospital discharge and again at a week or more. This will pick up the majority of issues including those that can be distorted by lack of early feeding activity(pku). Later testing is usually limited to specific tests for any suspected problem.
