Can any docs elaborate about the 3 tests in newborn screening for galactosemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 tests?: Can you be more specific? Newborn screening varies from state to state. In my state, only 1 test is done to screen for galactosemia. If it comes back positive, then additional tests are done to confirm diagnosis.
