METABOLIC SCREENING
Kentucky law mandates newborn metabolic screening tests. Typically screening is provided by the delivering hospital but may be done at the Health Department if the infant has not received the screen due to home delivery, early hospital discharge (release less than 48 hours old), or other circumstance.
Blood tests are collected and submitted to the state laboratory. In the event of a positive screening, the State Newborn Screening Coordinator will refer to one of the two university medical centers.
