Overview of DBS Congenital Hypothyroidism (TSH), 1 Mth in Srinagar
What is the DBS CAH 1 Month test?
This dried blood spot (DBS) test screens for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), a group of genetic disorders affecting adrenal hormone production in newborns.
Why is it done at 1 month?
Some forms of CAH may not be evident at birth. Testing at 1 month helps detect milder or delayed-onset cases to prevent complications.
How is the sample collected?
A few drops of blood are taken from the baby's heel, dried on a special card, and sent for analysis.
What does an abnormal result mean?
It may suggest CAH and requires follow-up testing for confirmation, including hormone assays and genetic analysis.
Is early detection important?
Yes, early treatment with hormone replacement can prevent serious complications like salt-wasting crisis and support normal growth and development.
