Pruebas de detección para recién nacidos - Results

Nombres alternativos

Exámenes de tamizaje para bebés; Pruebas de detección para neonatos; Examen para fenilcetonuria (FCU)

Valores normales:

Los valores normales para cada prueba de detección pueden variar dependiendo de la forma como se realice dicha prueba.

Nota: los rangos de los valores normales pueden variar ligeramente entre diferentes laboratorios. Hable con el médico acerca del significado de los resultados específicos de su examen.

Significado de los resultados anormales:

Un resultado anormal no significa que el bebé tenga la enfermedad indicada. En general, la mayoría de los bebés que tienen un resultado anormal en el examen resultan no teniendo la enfermedad. Sin embargo, un resultado anormal no significa que el niño deba someterse a pruebas adicionales para confirmar o descartar la condición.
