Your child may need other tests to prevent health problems. Check this list with your child's doctor or other health care provider. Newborn Screening (for PKU, thyroid and other inherited/metabolic diseases) - If your child did not receive this blood test before coming home from the hospital, or received it before 24 hours of age. Some states require a repeat test during the first month of life. Sickle Cell or Thalassemia Test - If your child has an African-American, Mediterranean, Asian, or Middle Eastern family background. Tuberculosis (TB) Skin Test - If your child has had close contact with a person having TB, lives in an area where TB is more common than average (such as a Native American reservation, a homeless shelter, or an institution), or has recently moved from Asia, Africa, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, or the Pacific Islands. Cholesterol Test - If your child has a parent with high cholesterol or a parent or grandparent with heart disease before age 55. Urinalysis Test - If your child is less than 5 years of age, particularly if your child has had a bladder or kidney infection. Record test results on pages 18-19. Previous Page |
